I swear, if this whole ‘graphic design’ thing doesn’t work out for me, the least I can do is sell Apple products. Many has been the time, at many a store, that I have simply dismissed the salesperson, and have proceeded to fucking sell the shit out of the Apple product in question to the prospective buyer. And why do I bring this up? Today, at MicroCenter, I came across a semi-competent sales-lady trying to explain MacOS X to a Sun guy. She was showing him all the bells and whistles: the Dock, the genie effect, etc. But it was I who explained to him the 3 programming environments, and that Cocoa apps can be totally customized by the user. It was I who showed him how OS 9 can be run as a seperate thread in X, and that UNIX is right there when you need it. It’s amazing to see people’s reactions when you explain all that to them, especially Sun people (as this guy was) and Windows people. Their eyes just widen like they can’t believe what they’re hearing.
So, 808, what ever happened to that Mac store we were going to open? 😉 I guess I could wait until Apple opens their proposed Littleteon store and work weekends if I need to. Which, believe it or not, is something I’ve acutally considered doing when it happens. Maybe as the Genius Bar guy?
