One of the biggest things I'm raving about here in the USA are those tech gas pumps. You know what I'd mean if I say their pretty secure, fast and easy to use. I remember in Asia when I'd pull into a gas station how I'd hand over my credit card to a gas attendant and he in turn would walk yards away from me where he'd swipe my card in a room.

I thought we were just going to talk about his technical issue with his Dell desktop, but he brought it and shoved it with a stern friendly "fix it please" to my face.
Sure, I don't have anything important to do these days so I gladly obliged and brought home his desktop PC. I ...
