boxes, then took a screen shot, cropped it and saved it as a png...

PowerPoint, eh? I didn't know that could do rotated text... [Altough 
I'll admit I haven't actually tried that before.]

my desk featuring some USB stick prices; should be self-explanatory.

Hey I can overcharge you just as much as they can you know, that's what  
friends are for.




Heh we've recently had a Maplin open not far along from PC World, I bet  
they were sooo happy.

Maplin aren't the cheapest of the cheap, but

1. They're not all that expensive.

2. Their stuff actually know what the hell they're talking about.

3. You can take stuff back. And they don't argue with you.

PC World fails epically on all three counts...

I found that in Maplin there are two sorts of employee.  One is the 
old-and-wise fat guy with a beard who knows everything about everything, the 
other is the spotty teenager who they probably got in just because the fat 
guy doesn't know anything about that annoying DJ stuff over in the corner, 
but who doesn't know anything about any other electronics.
