And they say the Customer is always right…
I work at a computer store. It’s not a huge chain but a smaller one that deals mainly in computer hardware. We have two locations. I have to deal with people who think they know more than me all the time and usually it’s pretty easy to point out to them that I am right and they are wrong (sometimes even I learn something) but when this customer came in and knew what he wanted so pompously what he knew to be a real thing. I had to let it go. Here is the conversation we had.
Me: How can I help you today?
Moron: Yeah, I’m looking for that new chip. The Centurion Predecessor.
Me: You mean a Celeron Processor?
Moron: No, my friend told me about it and told me it’s called the Centurion Predecessor! Do you guys have it?
Me: So you’re looking for something that comes before a processor that doesn’t exist? No we don’t have that. But we do have the Celeron Processors.
Moron: Nah man, its called the Centurion Predecessor I guess you guys haven’t gotten it then. See ya later.

Lol… It’s generally true when they say a little bit of information is dangerous. Especially in the hands of customers or clients.
The “Centurion” would be quite a cool name for a processor though. It just kind of sounds powerful. Who knows maybe when they hit 100ghz, we’ll have one called that. He may have to wait a while though…
