The PC weenie sales people diss them, again!
by technewsjunkie April 5, 2005 1:14 PM PDT
Having them in the store means nothing, that's already been
done. It's waht happens at the point of sale that's the problem:
PC Weenies that no nothing, except the usual biased stuff, about
Macs.

And they should configure them with standard PC screens, mice,
etc. to make the point that Macs are not "proprietary" and use
standards based peripherals.

Then by all means, have a go.

I love listening to all the Mac-heads say what isn't done right about their company (most of which generally get pegged on Windows users) and how they know exactly how to fix the problem.

Your limo awaits, Mr. Jobs.

This won't work (again)

Best Buy sales personnel (at least in my area) are Windows
oriented teenagers for the most part. I have personally watched
as they trashed the iPod. It's one thing to provide prospective
customers with the pros and cons of various products. It's
another thing altogether to disparage a particular product
because of a personal dislike of the manufacturer. As I said I
have listened to it personally. The Mini will suffer the same fate
at their hands. Best Buy corporate may be enthusiastic about the
Mini. I can assure you the local yokels do not share that
enthusiasm. And of course Best Buy stopped carrying Mac
software years ago. This will be a fiasco for Apple. I can't believe
they are doing this.
