Little blue droids get on my nerves

Here is a common list of terms the little blue droids usualy dont know

PCI Express
Williamete
Northword
Operton
SCSI
Serial ATA ( they might know SATA but have no idea what it means)
ISA
IEEE 1394 ( because they only know the buzzword of Firewire thanks alot apple)
802.11(X) I put X there to represent a/b/g/i anyway. I go into an
atlanta best buy could not find the wireless cards or the regular
network cards. I go to the deskt they have there with in the computer
section ask the person, :" do you have any 802.11G cards I kinda in a
hurry. " We dont have any of those but if there is anything else you
need sir, ( so i get smart and decided to talk dumb) Do you know
where are your network cards are .... Then he shows me i find the pci
G card I needed and he like why did nt you tell me you needed a
wireless card.
