you know...

you knwo, the place at the apple stores, in the back that they call "The Genius Bar" where you are supposed to bring your machine and or your dumb son/daughter/girlfriend/jocks dropped and dead iPod so that they can get repaired, replaced, or you can get told where to stuff it.

Just dont forget to make an appointment with them ahead of time, because,... even if you drive the hour and a half to the nearest one (like i've got to) they'll still refuse tio see you even if they havent got a single customer.
