No no no, this is common place. I think the tards think that Dell,
Gateway, and HPaq have little magic fairies that leave a little check
under our pillows for helping these fools out. On the way out the door I
always say - if you would have bought the system from us - we wouldn't
have had to even have this conversation. :)

Him: "Hi, I'm installing a new hard drive and Windows on my parent's
computer. It's a Compaq, and the recovery CDs won't install to a 40GB
hard drive. I was wondering if you would loan me your Windows 98 CD so
I can install the XP upgrade."
Me: (knowing the answer before asking): "Is this a computer from us?"
Him: "No."
Me: "Did you get the hard drive here?"
Him: "No."
Me: "Well, we can't legally loan out our CDs. If it was a computer
from us, I'd get you a 98 CD, but since it's from Compaq, you'd really
have to talk to them."
Him: "You can't make an exception?"
Me: "No, I really can't. But you could bring the system in, and I
could install XP for you."
Him: "No, I don't want to do that."
So he left. Are people becoming more insane and demanding, or is it
just me?
