Can you elaborate a bit more on Market Source?
Do I understand, then, that the so called Apple Reps at CUSA stores
are not really Apple employees? The one fellow in Chicago who
established rapport with our group led us to believe that he is a
direct Apple employee.Yet your comment about Market Source makes me
wonder .
What is Market Source's relationship with Apple. Is it a division of Apple?

... The Cusa "Apple Store within A Store" has lost aisles and
space since the
change due to integration, but I think that to the uniniated this just looks
like there aren't many items available for the Mac...
Along this line...Our UG once had our monthly program inside our local CUSA.
The Marketsource person led it. (Marketsource is the company that puts Apple
experts in CUSA stores a few hours each week.) One of the things I
previously had asked him to do after he showed us the Apple section was to
show our UG members where Mac stuff was over the rest of the store, and
that's a useful point to make to all UG members about CUSA stores.
Yes, the Apple-specific items are in the Apple section, but there are many
"Mac" things all over CUSA. In the printer section and scanner section you
find Mac-capable printers and scanners; in the Windows software section you
find hybrid software (Mac/Windows); in the hard drive and CD burner sections
you find Mac-capable drives and burners. And so on! I know this seems
obvious but it's eye-opening to some UG members.
