And of course nobody bothers to answer the question about the floating glass bridge she's talking about. Maybe nobody knows.

So the thought of meeting a woman with a mac is too much to think about... to be honest. i've got a mac. it's pretty but sure does give me a lot of stick at the worst possible times... and will be working fine, only to cease working whenever it feels like it. hassle hassle.

the Apple store is so pretty it must be knocking people senseless. I met my fiance three years ago at a U2 concert at the Garden.

that's nice and all, but for sheer unadulterated whoring, one can never beat craigslist

To Mr FedUp Can't afford one eh? Poor you. Interesting you took the time to comment on this story rather than look for a better paid job. Your loss. Macs make me money, PCs make money for the people who fix them.

"Oh, I see you also like overpriced, underpowered computers! Wanna go out some time?"

i met my ex at the fine arts library in graduate school while i was working on my thesis research - definitely nerdy. (and dave, i think most of the people in soho look like they are on loan from an architectural rendering)

To me the majority of people in the Apple store look like they are on loan from an architectural rendering. Aren't they just there to make the space look good?

Proof that the RDF is still strong!!! The nerdiest place I've met someone? Online, of course!

Thanks for crediting the original Jen - shame the Post can't get their own ideas.

A friend of mine got hit on there by the same troll on two separate occasions. When she replied that she wasn't interested, he followed up with, "Oh, do you have any cute single Asian girlfriends?"

I HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATE going to the Apple store so much I took a hit on a $35 set of earphones ($35!) that completely suck because I refuse to go stand in that long ass line just so they can tell me that there is some Steve Jobs loophole that means I can't get my money back. In the past I've also shipped my ipod to their service center on the West Coast rather than deal with the long ass lines at that Soho store. It was faster and more convenient to ship since I didn't have to wait to get a tech person on the phone. Although I did have to exchange my ipod four times before I got one that didn't crash every five minutes. I'm very down on Apple right now, and cannot foresee myself being in any condition to meet a guy while standing in the store that enrages me so. Steve Jobs is a crook.

Yes the funk of TekServe, no one has lamented the passing of their huge Oskar fish and store mascot.

Moral: If you want to get laid, go to the Apple store. If you want to buy a computer, go to TekServe.
