Well, that was the same store I visited.
I didn't expect him to know much about VO, which he didn't, but he
should have known about the Mac a bit more.
Maybe there are knowledgable people in that store; but I didn't
encounter one.
Another employee, maintained vehemently that a Mini they had
running did have Server on it.
He didn't believe me when I told him it did not. After he checked
it he did admit I was correct.
Then he pawned me off to the genius I mentioned earlier.

Hi.
I'm sorry you had a bad experience at the Apple store. I, too, live
on Long Island, and frequent the store in Smith Haven Mall. People
there are really great, and seem to know quite a bit about voice over.
