Yes, I "admit" that the average consumer isn't aware of the difference, but that doesn't mean I don't think they are responsible for finding out. And really, it's as easy as asking someone you know who works on computers, or calling a local computer shop and just asking for advice. Not all of them will help you, but you'll eventually find someone who will. And the practise is well-known by anyone who has been involved in computer maintenance and repair, or even building, for more than a few months.
