Oh, don't feel too bad. Things are not exactly heavenly here either. In many retail outlets, even going anywhere *near* the systems triggers the wild-eye syndrome you describe. I just make it a point to *avoid* these retail stores and use the ones that can satisfy my curiosity :) One of the friendliest teams, most technically competent and overall "great guys" team is the one from play247.gr (where I eventually bought my laptop from). I always look there _first_, and only if I can't find what I want I search elsewhere now :)
