I haven't been into a "computer store" in a long time.
My only visit into a Mac store wasn't too good. It was in the late 90's and I was doing some phone system work and needed a serial cable. The store was close so I stopped in and asked the salesman if they had a DB25 cable? I still remember what he said:
"We don't use that terminology in here. Do you mean Mac to Modem or Mac to Printer?"
I just asked to see the cables, grabbed one (Yes, they did have one; I didn't ask "what they called it") and left.
I liked the Amiga store; which really wasn't. It was a computer store. They sold Atari, Amiga and PC clones. They had them all set up and you could almost always test what they had for sale. He sold a lot of Amiga's, but I remember he was also happy with a "new" Nec Laptop that was selling very well.
(Funny, the things you remember...)

(Note: I am NOT saying all Mac stores are like that. Just the one I went to..)
Oh come on! You know Mac users can be rabid fanatics and their so called "experts" aren't much better than the Geek Squad (and apple experts don't make house calls).
They've always criminally over priced their hardware. And they insist on controlling all aspect of their market (and, no, this doesn't lead to good things).
I'll use my cast off PPC Mac proudly, knowing that my OS is significantly more efficient than OSX.
