| 1154416 | 2010-11-20 08:06:00 | There again it may be similar to vehicles. Lots of people manage to drive without knowing the difference between a tappett and a con rod. :-) I don't know what either of those are? |

| 1154418 | 2010-11-20 09:25:00 | It always gets me that DSE have a "Desktop CPUs Only" category on their website. Included in the category are a few PCs, a laptop, a couple of PSUs and a CoolerMaster HSF. That's like a supermarket putting pork chops in the orange juice section. | inphinity (7274) | ||
| 1154419 | 2010-11-20 09:54:00 | But you wouldn't expect a mechanic to be calling a con rod a brake lining or something though would you. Probably not. My point being that the customer does not need to know and it's best that the help desk actually helps. If that means talking to them so they get the point then I guess that is helpful. |
