I'm at the new Apple Store on 5th Avenue, waiting to meet with a "Genius" about my iPod. You know, the one I got just a few months ago? Yea, it's broken.
I went to an Apple store the other day to try to get the cd drive on my powerbook fixed - armed with error message, description of problems, etc. The "Genius" put a CD in the drive, listened to it make sad noises, and told me it was broken, and I should get it fixed. [No shit, man - it's broken? I couldn't tell.] I'd been hoping for something more along the lines of "ah, we've got superdrives in stock, come back in an hour."
Sigh. Maybe my Genius was having an off day, or something.
