Gee, after all this, I wonder if I'm lucky that the folks at the coming Apple Store near me didn't hire me. :( (Opening in May in Huntington, NY.) My wife (nicely) first suggested I was overqualified - I've been in computers for 25 years, having built my first one in the 70s, have been a part time Mac consultant, and run a business for a decade and a half. I just wanted some part time hours as I'm now a full time stay at home dad. And it could be fun. She later (less charitably) suggested I was too old. :) (Hey if at 46 I can keep up with a 6 and 3 year old every day....) Did hurt my ego a bit. :( I seem to recall the manager and assistant manager were new to Apple - (days and ? months) so maybe not Mac nuts. True believers would be more fun. And as I said reading all the messages here.... -- Roger
