Ditto her in San Antonio, Texas.  However, he is not very knowledgeable 
as I would expect someone trained by Apple to be.  Neither is he full 
time, most of the time when I am in the store I have to deal with one of 
the other CompUSA employees, who try to steer customers to the PC 
section.  Honestly, I overheard one guy tell a man and his wife looking 
at iMacs that you couldn't get much software for Macs.  He told him 
(pointing at the shelf with the Mac software) that is all there is for 
the Mac, the rest of the store is Windows software!  For the most part 
they don't like Macs.  When checking out one of the cashiers started 
laughing when he saw that my purchase was for the Mac.  I haven't bought 
from CompUSA since that episode.
