My wife just had a doozy come into the store. To begin with, we sell
Acer laptops - don't sell Lenovo, never sold Lenovo.
A woman came in with a laptop in a case and said "my father bought
this here in June. I lost my power adapter and I'm wondering if
that's covered under warranty." My wife said, "No, that wouldn't be
covered under warranty, but let's look at the laptop and see what
power adapter it needs." So she pulls out a Thinkpad, and my wife
says "Well, that wasn't not bought from us, because that's a Lenovo
laptop and we only sell Acer, but we can get you an adapter." The
woman answered, "No, I'm sure it was bought here and it's an
Acer." My wife pointed at the IBM Thinkpad logo and said, "No...Acer
doesn't make IBM Thinkpads, Lenovo does." "No," said the woman,
"it's an Acer." My wife picked up our Acer plaque and said, "When
you boot it up, do you see this logo, or an IBM logo." "I see that
logo - Acer." was the reply, "I don't want to argue with you about
it." "Ok," said my wife, let's turn it on and we'll see what logo
comes up." "I can't," said the woman, "the battery's dead."
So she decided to take it home and check with her father and see if
he thought it was an Acer. Should be an interesting
conversation. The real question is: How does she dress herself in
the morning?
