customer that wanted to buy a hard drive that the customer would have to upgrade
from Windows 95 because Win95 didn't support drives over 2 Gigs! -- DUH.
Then he quoted him a price of $80 to install the hard drive _without_ copying the
files over. The ironic thing was that I was there buying DriveCopy (for $30),
which does exactly what their $80 "service" does not.
