What is the difference between a computer salesman and a used car dealer?

The used car dealer knows when he is lying to you.

I bought something at an office supply store today. As I finished signing the credit card list the manager there said I could bring in a computer, any computer, for a free checkup. I immediately asked: “Linux?” and he said yes.

Afterwards I checked the slip of paper he gave me. I was not the least surprised to read “Must have Windows XP Service Pack 2 or newer.”

Not that it really matters to me: I can take care of our Linux systems (and the Windows ones as well).
