I don't fully agree with Norm; but if you are going to patronize the local guys you had for sure better find a good one.

But to your point .. what really is the difference if you go to a local guy and he screws in all the good compatabile stuff and then loads a bunch of bad software? The end result is the same.

Norm still ends up with the same problem; a computer that dosen't work and someone thinking it's CV's fault.
