Oh, don't feel too bad.  Things are not exactly heavenly here either.

In many retail outlets, even going anywhere *near* the systems triggers
the wild-eye syndrome you describe.  I just make it a point to *avoid*

One of the friendliest teams, most technically competent and overall
"great guys" team is the one from play247.gr (where I eventually bought
my laptop from).

I always look there _first_, and only if I can't find what I want I
search elsewhere now :)
