If I could have found a local store that custom built computers I probably
would have gone that way.  But it is rumored that BestBuy is phasing out its
brick and mortar locations in favor of going exclusively online.  I hope
this is not the case, because I can walk to my BestBuy store from my house,
and since this computer is a lap top, I can carry it with me.  I have to say
that they really worked with me to insure that Jaws was running properly
with several calls to Freedom Scientific to try and help me when they were
setting up this computer.

Hi Harvey!

Sorry it's too late now to right that wrong. I agree with you though Best
Buy is the jerk for trying to run competing businesses to different
standards. Offering competing products on line or at a cheaper price than
they do at the brick and morter is bad business and would be a good reason
to avoid them for future needs. 

If the brick and morter are  serious about wanting your business, they
should sell you what you want. My local supplier did want to sell me a
Windows 8.1 64 bit machine, but I told them it wasn't what I wanted. Their
answer was reasonable. Tell me what you do want, so I did. They came to the
party.
