I specified your evidence had to be something other than your opinion. Your "interpretation" of these pictures is only your unsupported opinion.
I'm not being smug, I am being honest. I am not saying they are not a business, but you have to admit the fanaticism of all things Apple is a bit cultish.
I know you will say this is my impression or opinion which it is, but I am probably not too far off from the truth. Here is my official disclaimer: My impressions are not true statements but theoretical observations.
Ok here is my theoretical narrative to the second picture in my post # 67.
Asian customer on far left talking to "Mac Genius" #1 about his wife's laptop that can't network properly with his Windows NT4.0 workstation. "Mac Genius" #1 looks on intently knowing while dealing with the internal conflict of realizing that the customer might actually have a more complex problem than he can resolve and more knowledge about the situation than he possesses. Being quick on his feet he goes on the offensive and says, well your macbook is 1 1/2 years old, how about the new model and I'll give you a fair deal on the trade in? It was a smart move and a saavy one for "Mac Genius" #1 as he gets the sale!
"Mac Genius" #2 is honestly perplexed with that blank stare wondering why he can't comprehend the possibility of customer Vanilla "ice" Mathers' laptop having been hijacked and keeps getting redirected to porn sites. One wonders if he wandered in there after a crack deal went down and his payment was that non-working laptop.
"Girl Mac Genius" consults with "Asian Mac Genius" to resolve a customers randomly rebooting iMac issue. Leaving her stumped and wishing she was still in high school during her protest days and "making a difference era" but she still holds onto that Feminist mantra "I am woman, hear me roar". "Asian Mac Genius" may be the only one that has a more than rudimentary knowledge of computers.
Swordmaker, your assumption that these certified "Mac Geniuses" are any different from the certified Geek Squid morons you are sadly mistaken. And to getmeouttawestpalmbeach, I wasn't picking on that "grandma" just people in general that fall for "Genius Bar", "Geek Squad", "Firedog" or any crap like that. Sure I want to pay someone $80 an hour to reformat my drive.... Ok, it's your money, but as the saying goes a fool is easily separated from his money.
