The Least Likely Thing Ever To Happen
By Mitch Berg
I’m scanning down the list of possible events in my life, sorted in order of likelihood. I finally got to the very bottom:
#6,784,777,653 – Re-animating the dead with my smile
#6,784,777,654 – Me pitching a called third strike against A-Rod#6,784,777,655 – Staying up to watch Joey reruns
#6,784,777,656 – Setting off the heat death of the universe via chain of events started by my sipping a cup of hot chocolate
#6,784,777,657 – Voting for Alice Hausman.
And at the very bottom of the list:
#6,784,777,658 – Ever buying anything from CompUSA.
It’s right there on the list!

If you insist on buying local, check out MicroCenter in St Louis Park. They’re as close to the geek mecca of Fry’s as we have.
I checked http;//www.resellerratings.com and here’s what I found from the big local computer/electronics stores that sell laptops that I could think of off the top of my head.
Best Buy: 1.38/10
Circuit City: 3.08/10
CompUSA: .76/10
Office Max: 2.5/10
Office Depot: 2.28/10
MicroCenter: 6.67/10
