Yes, unfortunately we all have similar stories to share. Often, while traveling for work, I visit little ($99 complete Pentium systems!) computer places around AL, TN and MS, I will find Mac stuff at PC refurbishers, seperated and stored away from the PC stuff in the back of the store. In some of the smaller towns, even pre-pentium PC stuff would be displayed proudly, and G3-G4 Mac stuff is stored away just because the tech there does not know how to startup the thing, or the flashing question-mark disk spooks them. The PC guys will usually say "I know nothing about Macs, just get it out of here!" I think that, as experts in the PC world, it must frustrate them to no end that Macs are beyond their realm of comprehension. Kinda like Dr. McCoy used to react when he attemped to treat Mr. Spock (or any other alien) for any illnesses.
