I had one of the most awful experiences at a BestBuy store this past Saturday.  I went into their Geek Squad Center here in the Los Angeles area to have my little Toshiba netbook repaired.  When I say little, I mean little -- it's a 10" screen but it serves its purpose as my backup computer. … Read More
