Because we are living in a digital world and I am not a digital girl...
Best Buy lied to me. The lady at the Worcester store said that the audio recorder I purchased would work with a PC. But either she just didn't know what she was talking about or she was just mean because this recorder did NOT do what she said it would. None of my interview files are transferring to my computer let alone the Audacity program. Therefore on this blustery Sunday I am going to make the trek to Best Buy, slam down my receipt, and demand a refund! (After I pick out a recorder that does work with Audacity.) Then, I am going to go out into the streets of Portsmouth to find a compelling story like the ambitious reporter that I am. That's it. I am off!

I think best buy tends to lie a lot, haha...I was told mine would work on a mac and it definitely didn't, so my dad ended up searching online for one that would work. Once you get one that works it's going relieve some unnecessary stress I'm sure!
Those people at Best Buy with there taped glasses and their spiffy blue shirts they will sell you anything with bytes. I am sure you got a great story today. No worries:)
Best buy told me 2 different phone chargers would work with my phone and neither of them did. So you can rest assured they weren't just singling you out. Hopefully the news story will be easier to find
Very nearly did the same thing when I went to Best Buy a couple of weeks ago. Fortuanately my roomate caught my mistake! I'm sure you'll be able to get a new story quickly!
Yeah I wasn't particularly impressed with Best Buy either. They had nobody there with any expertise in audio recording equipment. So lame. But so far, I've been pleased with the recorder I got.
Hearing stuff like this makes me happy I was too cheap to buy my own recorder, although I suppose eventually I'll have to battle the blue shirts.
Those scammers at Best Buy! I can never bring myself to make a purchase without doing research first. I've found that CNET.com has a great deal of consumer electronics reviews, buyer feedback and product information. Consumer Reports is also good, but they make you pay for most of their content.
