Mightycujo, There are two CompUSA near where I live. I have visited them several times recently, and found out Apple's section was really profreesionally decorated and at least two service men standing there for any questions raised by visitors. It gave me very nice impression. Besides, they displayed all various models of Mac ranging from 9600 servers to Powerbooks. I think they take it very seriously. I plan to buy G3's (or G4's) next year when Rhapsody (consumer's version) is available so my kids could use really Unix to get familar with the system since they will use Unix in college anyway if they major in Science, engineering or computer.

I was at the CompUSA in San Antonio, TX yesterday and spent 45 min. talking to a college kid about the benefits of the Apple over the PC. I actually think I might have converted him since he was thinking G3 when he left the store. It's bad when I have nothing better to due on a Sunday afternoon & Apple becomes my hobby. Anyway, the problem that I had with the Apple "store" is that most of the demo. monitors were old and small (none in the 17" range). This just looks bad to have a fast machine running graphics on a small screen. I also think they should have a stand where they invite PC store customers over with their own 3.5 disks in order to open their PC Word documents. Nothing like a good demonstration of compatibility to sell a product. Maybe I'll apply for a night & weekend job at the local CompUSA store just because I feel motivated about getting the right information out. l mason
