One to One

This is my personal Apple One to One coach. He's getting ready for our first meeting, and was a little annoyed that I paused long enough to take a photo shot. I brought with me a notebook that recorded my concerns, and things I was curious about. Because I am special, he went into the back room and brought out my very own OnetoOne journal, so I could keep current with the information.

Problem is, some of the info I wanted was not Apple's responsibility. I wanted to know about Open Source Software, and how in the heck I could get the X11 to become active. Not Apple's responsibility. I also am terribly interested in The Gimp, a free version of Photoshop. Not Apple's responsibility. Or, how about formatting a column in Numbers so that it would automatically display a list of numbers as phone numbers. He hadn't learned that yet.


Well gee. I did learn about Expose and that I could have a live chat using iChat, and not pay for .Mac, so that was nice. Oh yes, I also wanted to know how to get the photos in a blog to line up properly. Not Apple's responsibility.

Anyhow. The Apple store in Portland is in a central location, and constantly busy. Apple must be doing pretty good because there were plenty of customer service people there. They are so young. Doesn't anyone over 40 use a Mac?
