Hi Joe-- I'll basically back up everything you've said about Tandy's employees, even though at this time I'm a "Computer Specialist" in one of the stores. What I've found is that Tandy now gives lip service to support, but frown on any one actually doing anything about it. Since a computer specialist now gets a whopping $4.75 an hour (if he can't make commission) they either "get in line" (i.e. forget service) or spend a lot of time getting glared at while they are helping customers with computer problems. I have yet to make commission--I enjoy figuring out computer problems. Unfortunately $4.75 an hour doesn't cut it and I'm just about out of the place. This has happened to a lot of Tandy employees, esp., since the computer centers have closed down. If you can find them there are still knowlegable computer people at Tandy, but it is a hit or miss situation. (By the way, I'm not one of these knowlegable ones, but I do find someone who has the solution--at least we can do that.) --Ron
