NEWS: GEEK SQUAD AGENTS ACROSS THE NATION HELP MOVIE FANS AND THEIR EMPLOYERS CONDUCT BUSINESS AS USUAL IN ANTICIPATION OF MAY 19TH RELEASE

STORY SUMMARY:

Soon, the greatest fantasy film epic of our time will come to its conclusion, creating panic among diehard fans and their employers. While fans are lining up to buy tickets to the first showings, employers are making back- up plans to cope with widespread absenteeism.

When the last two prequels premiered, fans and their employers were forced to handle the panic alone. Not this year. The Geek Squad 24-hour Computer Support Task Force(R), founded in 1994, is arming folks with the technology to conduct business as usual and see the final installment of the second trilogy.

Up until the May 19 premiere, Geek Squad will provide all employees and parents with "fail-safe" excuse notes, make Geek Squad agents available to small businesses in need of "emergency IT replacement" on May 19 and keep members of the NYLine connected to their jobs and lives via a 40-foot mobile workstation. For more information or to download a "fail-safe" excuse note, go to http://www.geeksquad.com/. Geek Squad Agents can be reached at 1-800- GEEK SQUAD, http://www.geeksquad.com/ or at Geek Squad precincts inside Best Buy stores across the country.
