PC Superstore Admits Linux Hinge Repair Mistake
Erris writes "PC Superstore says their store manager was wrong to turn away a client with a broken hinge whose machine should have been repaired. 'El Reg put a call in to the DSGi-owned retail giant to get some clarification on PC World's Linux support policy. A spokesman told us that there had simply been a misunderstanding at the store and that, in fact, the normal procedure would be for the Tech Guys to provide a fix. [PC World] will provide a full repair once the firm has made contact with Tikka.'

We'd like to apologize for getting an unexpectedly large backlash due to our usual behavior of being dicks to the linux users. In the future we will strive to continue our inexcusable treatment of our linux based customers without attracting such public negative PR in the process. Thank you for your support in these difficult times!

Once more it pays to be well connected in the online community. Now if only this would work with the IRS and DMV.
For every present, there is a past
but i'm certain linux caused this cracking of the hinge. if the user had continued to run windows, it would have actually gone the way of Christine, the Stephen King novel car character, and repaired itself magically.

Take a crowbar and a fish. Pry the broken hinge open so as to free the penguin, then toss the fish to give the penguin an incentive to get out of the laptop. You may need to clean out the accumulated penguin filth.
Then take the laptop to a replacement window specialist to put windows back in the laptop. Once that is done, take the laptop to have the hinge serviced. Tada! all is well.
I scream. You scream. I assume that means we're both acquainted with the problem. We proceed.
Dear PC Superstore Customer,
Our bad.
Sincerely,
The Management
The game.
If the hinge problem persists with Windows it wasn't an OS problem.
Shouldn't it read:
Day 2: Got a job at PC World.
Day 3: I've been promoted to manager.
