Yep, we went through this with a 13" TV/VCR for my den - We picked the one
we wanted off the shelf, they went and got the box, we took it home.  Upon
opening it, I found that it was *totally* different than the one on the
shelf.

"Oh yeah, they changed that model"

Well, why have it on display?  We finally got them to give us a much more
expensive one that had the feature I needed (dual video-in) for the same
price.  It's the last time I went to Fry's.  I hate to say it, but CompUSA
is much better at customer service around here - I am always treated
professionally, refunds are never a problem, and at least at the one I go
to, the Mac headz are knowledgable enough *not* to inspire my wrath.)

(Scares me to think that I was woking with Macs when somee of them were
still wearing diapers.)
