Never been to a computer super-store, eh?
The salesfolks there are notorious for giving not just bad advice, but the
craziest pack of unnecessary lies you'll ever hear anywhere.
I had one tell me that I needed to "reverse" my ethernet cable - that one

There was no REASON for him to tell that lie.
He just wanted to sound like a big-shot.
