[Tfug] WorldCare suggestions?

[Marco Savo]

Well, maybe better organization? I went to buy the "Sun Monitor" posted
here, and when I went in no one knows that they have these monitors to sell.
Another time I asked for a cd/dvd writer, they told me they have some but
they should be tested, that I should come back the next week. The next week
I went back, and one woman told me in an unpleasant way that if I want a cd
or dvd writer to go to bestbuy.com, they won't sell me one, they sell the
whole computer. I'm not going there anymore
