and the music is back

[keryx]

I had to schedule an appointment in order to be permitted to interact with the 'genius' dude who talked down to me like he had some sort of fear of girls (I mocked him, probably not helping him get over said fear, but really not my problem... 2005, buddy, don't assume I haven't gone to the effing support website before suffering the inconvenience of talking to you).

Has anyone else ever gone to Apple's 'genius' thing to get stuff fixed before? My experience with Mac-fixers is usually that they either have better social skills or are less sexist (it was really hard to tell which of these the 'genius' in question suffered). So, huh?

The music is back, but as suspected, the whole thing had to be replaced.

I'm consoling myself over this by naming the new one Demosthenes (the first was Valentine), which I'm sure most of you will get and just find dorky.

The geniuses have swapped out 4 iPods for me. The last genius I spoke with looked at me as though I was a cavewoman who had no clue as to how to use the precioussss iPod. He was a jerk.

I do not abuse my iPod. stupid genius.

4?? I hope that was over a long period of time, cause otherwise it doesn't give me warm feelings about my new one's survival chances.

I always did prefer Peter.

Pfft. Although I did like him in the "shadow" series of books, the ones about Bean.

My OH had a very annoying experience with the 'genius' thing.
