I was in an Apple Store (not an Apple Apple Store)
the other day and on display was a brand new G4
PowerBook. Its trackpad surface was coming loose from
the case! Tsk, shoddy adhesive?

To make matters worse, the salesgeek (dressed all in
white with a turtleneck sweater, tiny goatee and pony
tail hair) was utterly clueless about OLD Macs,
especially Duos, and insisted there was no such thing
as the 29/30 pin PowerBook SCSI connector. To prove
it he showed me a newer PowerBook with a SCSI
connector
about 1/2 the height of the familiar 29/30 pin style.

Sensing that I was in the presence of a person without
a clue and no interest in obtaining one, I beat a
retreat from the store and have no plans to venture
there again.
