Dixons plunges to loss

@Wow

Well, there's always Comet... £109.99 for an extra year's warranty on a £200 PC when I worked there. Anyway, haven't DSG been struggling for months now?

Dixons Group still suffering

XP or Vista?

I tend to avoid PC World, but there was one handy near the place I used to work and I needed to upgrade the RAM on my son's G3 iMac. I knew what I wanted, but I thought I'd test the sales drones' knowledge.

"I'd like some RAM for an iMac G3, please."

"Is it running XP or Vista?"

"It's a Mac."

At this point, the sales drone turned up the condescending tone.

"Yes, but it needs to have an operating system. These are called XP and Vista. Which does it run?"

After a rant about PPC processors not running Windows, I'm afraid I left the store in complete disgust. I've set foot in there again a few times (although not in that branch) in order to wind sales drones up... It's a cheap laugh, anyway.
