Listen to those links of the genius Bar I posted. Are they all generally that loud and chaotic? I have more reason to avoid that place like the plague.
Uh, no. Two were videos made in front of the computer in a podcaster's computer room, one was recorded in the ranter's living room while the other rant was done in the Apple store. ONE out of four. And even in that one you could understand every word.
What do you want, Blue, a retail store as empty and as silent as a tomb???
Me, I want one where people are enjoying the experience, talking, asking questions, trying things, taking test drives of the software and equipment.
Have you even been in an Apple store?
By the way, I am a lifelong Relublican, a friend of Ronald Reagan who had a standing invitation to use his swimming pool when he was Governor of California, Life Member of the NRA, a small business owner, a musician who has performed in Carnegie Hall, a former gun shop manager, former representative for the US Chamber of Commerce (Northern California and Nevada), a former rep for the National Federation of Independent Business (San Joaquin, Calaveras, and Tuolumne Counties), and apparently far more conservative than you but you dare question my ideology (and my sexual orientation) because I use a Mac... as do Rush limbaugh and President Bush.
