I must have spoken to at least six people during the course of that visit: a couple of Geek Squad members, a salesperson in the computer area, an assistant manager, manager, etc. But still no go. I finally got the problem resolved by telling the manager that I would be taking the issue to small claims court--and that I was going to subpoena every last person I had talked to that day, plus the person who had originally sold us the computer. They backed off right quick: the manager told me I could go and pick out any computer on the floor. I told him that I wasn't interested in taking advantage of them; that I would be satisfied with a new unit of equal value (though not the exact same model), which is what happened.
