When You Bring A 22-Year-Old Mac To The Genius Bar…

I brought an ancient and non-functioning Mac to the Apple Store in the Meatpacking District in NYC, and this is what happened.

Overall, they were surprisingly unfazed by my request for repairs. They were impressed that I had it, and seemed genuinely interested in helping me get it fixed. They couldn’t do anything for me, since Apple only keeps equipment from the last five years on hand, but they pointed me towards Tekserve, another Apple-centric store in NYC.

Thanks to Blakeley from Gawker.tv for shooting the hidden camera footage!

    I’m impressed that the guy actually has the technological know-how to help him out. Whenever I’ve been in with ipod problems I’ve been greeted with less understanding than I had by googling the problem myself…
