My husband used to work for Oracle, so I'd heard all the stories. For the record, my husband's comment was "For $600, you shouldn't have to read the manual." But you can take that up with him.<br><br>In retrospect, I wouldn't have bothered the genius if I'd realized what a zoo the Genius Bar is these days. I had not given it a lot of thought (as we now know, that's my speciality) and I had assumed the problem was that I'd switched something in the software and that it would only take the genius two seconds to tell me how to get to whatever setting I had changed. <br><br>None of it was a huge incident in my life (or the genius' life) and my main purpose in blogging was that I wondered if anyone else thought the Genius Bar was an idea whose time to be re-thunk had come.<br><br>Anyway... I liked your post.KarenThu, 23 Aug 2007 12:24:10 -0000
