Fair enough.
For the record, I'm not defending the Apple store. I've found most of the people in there to be about as helpful as the average Futureshop employee (no offense if you work there - just my experience).
They aren't techies. They are salespeople. Expect to be promised one thing and sold another. This is no different then any other electronics store - so I don't really get why people jump all over it like it's something new.
Hell, I recently wandered in there asking for a screwdriver that could remove the bloody pegs from my Macbook Pro's hard drive (I bought a bigger one at Memory Express). No one in that store had a clue what I was talking about.
So wandered 50 feet to The Source, asked the clerk there if they sold electronic screwdriver sets. She found what I needed in seconds.
I don't defend Apple because I'm a zealot. I challenge preconceived notions that their products can't do things, such as play games. I am typing on a Pro right now and I know full well the capabilities of what my machine can and can't do.
