   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.
