  1. Converting catalog sales to internet sales should be comparatively simple because structurally it's very similar - there's an almost one-to-one mapping between the components & steps of the paper process and the computerised one.

    If only there was like a website or something, where you could type words and phrases you don't know the meanings of and it would sort of tell you and all that.

    That'd be just dreamy.

    The 3.5mm headphone jack was one of the greatest inventions ever.

    Fiddly little things. When I was a young 'un, headphone plugs were the size of a frankfurter.

    My understanding was that the "merchantable quality" stipulation applied to all goods, second-hand or otherwise. BUT IANAL.

    Obviously with some reasonable common sense involved - if you bought a car for 200 quid the wheels shouldn't drop off the next day but if it lasts six months you probably can't complain much.

    You generally aren't supposed to do that. You should ask one of the staff.

    And there's a limit to exactly how much mischief can be done in store. Microwaving a HDD or dropping a CPU in the toilet is pretty hard, at least without being spotted.
