Technology sucks

For a while my wife has been wanting to get a laptop.We had a little extra money so we decided to finally get her one. We went on tax free weekend. A few days before we pre-shopped for one at Best Buy and picked out  two programs for them to install.They said the installation would be free.

We arrived,picked out what she wanted,got the programs.Everything was going fine until we started to check out. Now i don't know a hell of a lot about computers but the sales people were telling us that the one program she picked up was no good and tried to sell us a more expensive version.That led to this and that, oh, you need this,you need that. The laptop that we were looking at was around eleven hundred dollars( which i thought was a bit steep,but it was for my honey). When it was all was said and done,it was going to cost over eighteen hundred dollars!

I know they have to make a profit ,but damn, it got a little out of control.Like i said i don't know much about computers, and we may have needed all the BS they say we needed, but there's no way i'm spending that kind of money on a computer that's going to be outdated in a month anyway. And they were going to charge us for installation!

Needless to say , we didn' t get it.

I'm done ranting now.Thanks for listening.

Peace Out !
