If you dial the 888 number - forget it. Speaking to a real human at Best Buy is virtually impossible. If you go to the store, speak to the service desk, you will be well pleased.
It floors me how much Corporate America has changed since I earned my AAS degree in Business Management as the last graduating class of what was Utah Technical College, March, 1987. AAS means Associate in ""APPLIED SCIENCE"", with emphasis on""APPLIED"". My minor was Marketing.
