Cyclecomputer Setup Complaint

So, the bike store set up my cyclecomputer, but they didn't set up the 'computer' part.

The computer has my tire circumference set at 205cm, when in fact it is 216cm. 

A little bit of quick math...
444.5km=44,450,000cm
44,450,000cm/205cm=216829revs
216829*216cm=46835064cm
46835064cm=468.4km

So, while my computer says I've biked 444.5km, I've actually biked 468.4km!

I've been biking around for more than a month, with incorrect data!!!  That kind of thing drives me nuts!  If you're going to set something up, don't do a half-assed job, do it right.
