Hardware Stores

There is a computer store (hardware/software) near the University named Megatrónica. It is a very interesting store because they have much hardware in stock (not common in other stores around) and good prices. Unfortunately they are completely incompetent.

First Story: bought a graphics card (an ATI model I can't remember which, with AGP 8x) and installed it in the machine. Worked well but in the next few days I bought some memory. Installing the memory I don't know what I did to the graphics card it never worked again. Took the PC to the store for repair. After more than one week their answer was: the graphics card is incompatible with the motherboard. It works on other computers. Of course I asked "why" and they answered "because it is!" and I asked "why" and they answered the same. I don't like idiot people, so, I took the machine and visited a friend who knows more about hardware than me. He looked to the motherboard and said: the AGP slot is damaged! D'uh!

Second Story: I never visited Megatrónica again. But here in the university they continue buying stuff there. So, we need a laser printer, I choose a Samsung ML-2551N (seems nice, didn't tried it yet...). In the same day they delivered the printer to the university. We opened it and... the toner was opened and... the printer had paper in it... WEIRD! Meanwhile, and I don't know how, I noticed that the model was the ML-2251N and not the ML-2551N. Printer sent back to the store. Three days after that they deliver again the printer. Again, the wrong model. Again the ML-2251N instead of the ML-2551N. We sent back the printer. And here we are waiting for it... for more than a week...
