I do not see them having great staff retention rate at the salaries they have offered. I mean, imagine the kids they get for $12 an hour? Those would get swallowed up by any business with over 10 employees in a heartbeat if they were any good.

My respect for you as a business person and some with the foresight to see the future has risen to a new level. I have for years been looking at the needs of Small Businesses and this trend, although in its infancy will have a significant imapct. Although many see the weekness in Best Buy and Geek Squad, they see this as permanent problems and not fixable problems. They also don't see that IBM was not the only company to make computers, they were just the first. Best Buy will have competion and eventually those player will be the major stake holders in delivering to the market. This is not a time to be sticking your head in the sand. Jeff Loucks Vlad,

I had a GS'er sent over by Best Buy tell an employee of one of my clients that I made her office network so secure, that her home PC needed to be rebuilt before she could log in with terminal services. I'm still scratching my head on that one. Anyway, I replaced the shortcut to RDP on her desktop, and all was well. I sincerely doubt my clients are ready to let the kids at the big box store manage their networks 2 words why i don’t care: Geek Squad
