PC World did surprise me once. I needed a combined scanner/printer/fax- the 
one I was interested in was made by HP, the guy I spoke to said he thought it 
was supported by the hpoj driver, I asked if it was possible to get an 
internet connection so I could check. No problems, he simply unlocked one of 
the display machines and let me surf away.
