This is why I don't work in a retail setting with PCs and/or software.
I'm somewhat of an expert on certain computer products, I have extensive
experience with a lot of systems.. As a result, I cant morally sell PCs
because of what I know about their bass-ackward, illogical designs, nor
can I sell any machine with Windows on it. I would be talking customers
OUT of buying things, and would likely work less than 2 days before being
fired.
