  • Here's mine. All over the board, but heavy on R&B, pre-1996 hip hop (I feel like it more or less died after that point), rare groove, originals to stuff sampled in R&B/hip hop songs, and the like. Some jazz, a little blues, and some token …
  • What's wrong with Santa Fe? My sister graduated from Santa Fe High School. Then went on to graduate summa cum laude from UNM. She's a grad student at Cornell now. It's more about you, the student, than it is about the school you go to.
  • I hope this is a lie. I'd like to think that instruments of genocide use Intel and Microsoft bullshit. Just seems like it'd be fitting. . . . and now that I've turned this intensely political, I'll do the cowardly thing and never revisit this t…
  • Mac Geniuses get about $20ish an hour, so the annual salary is in the 40s. At least in northern New Jersey.

  • Could there be any better proof that he wasn't in his element? This interview tells me Jobs NEEDS to be at Apple. The whole NeXT thing was an attempt to repeat history (i.e., the founding of Apple), and I'd imagine the failure of the NeXT hardware…
  • Ugh . . . TekServe . . . PLEASE. Yes, they still have the Coke machine. Big whoop. Taking a number just to buy a damn accessory? Stupid. Painfully stupid. Christ, the arrogance in the air in that place makes Saks Fifth Avenue feel like W…
  • Murbot: So YOU'RE "the eBay guy" who had a thread I remember reading about a year ago! I've been wanting to ask you if you could post some of your "secrets" on here. Where you buy new hardware from; how long you keep it before selling; etc. I …
  • This commercial reminded me of why I hate: (a) the Tri-State area, and (b) the idiocy of the IT industry, that gives clowns like these high-paying jobs just because they went to a local community college (the kind that advertise during Jerry Spr…
  • [quote]Originally posted by dstranathan: 3 tests total now? Did they combine some? I think they combined two into one. I don't have the information in front of me, but it's all explained in excruciating detail at train.apple.com. They also …
  • The ACSA used to require that you passed four tests; with 10.2, it now requires three. Each test is $150. Good luck on the ACSA thing! I'm thinking I might eventually go for that, but ACTC will suffice for now.
  • I have the ACTC certification, and I didn't take the classes. Basically, if you're an OS X power user (and that's a lot of people on these forums), you'll pass the first of the two exams with flying colors, most likely. The second is tricker, as i…
  • This is fine if you want a dull life of administering Windows networks and hopping onto the M$ certification treadmill. Yes, these courses and M$ certification will be all you need to get a network admin job at a Windows shop -- and there are lots …
  • [quote]Originally posted by Jamie: I hope you didn't mention which site you are webmaster of... J :cool: Hah. Nahhhhh. I did actually get an interview ONCE -- for a Mac Genius gig at Short Hills. Made it past the screening…
  • Well, good luck. I've done the same thing myself. Repeatedly. No dice.
  • There's a semi-regular visitor to the AI forums who got hired as a Mac Genius at the SoHo store. He knows who he is. He could answer these questions and tell us what to expect at this new store. He could create a new account and post from there…
  • More accurately, the first flagship store. LA/Farmer's Market is next in line, followed by Chicago/Magnificent Mile. They're also huge, two-story locations.
  • [quote]Originally posted by TigerWoods99: Where do I go for the 13.95 a yr registration? Does that apply to if I want something .com? $13.95? Bah, forget that. GoDaddy.com has them for $8.95. Yes, for .com. I'm a satisfied customer; I have 1…
