Actual conversation at a national computer chain store:
Customer: Now what does this 512MB of RAM mean on this PC?
Salesman: Umm… RAM is what slows down your PC. See, it rams into your processing power, causing slowdowns. That’s why it’s called RAM.
Customer: Are you sure?
Salesman: Who’s the expert here?

Classic.
Recently I was shopping in a well known (and highly regarded) chain store that sells a very popular range of computers.
I was having a chat with one of the salespeople about one of their new products and then he told me “you see, a CPU is like an engine. After a while it becomes clogged up and starts to slow down, and you need to go buy a new one”.
I decided at that point that it was time to finish the conversation.
