The enevitable happens and the 'dude' comes over to offer me some 'advice'. When he had finished trying to convince me that Cable/DSL and ADSL were interchangable (and I had stopped laughing) I left.

But what is really silly is that they are selling Cable/DSL routers in an area where the nearest cable network is around 100/150 miles away!!
technically the cable/dsl routers can be used with ADSL if you have a seperate modem with an ethernet port..

Not that the person in PCworld would have known that, he probably saw the /DSL and assumed it was also a DSL router.

Isn't pcworld training based on how many people you can get though the till? and isn't the right product for the customer the most expensive one you can convince them to buy?
