My Trip to the Apple Store
Apples aren’t my favorite computer in the world. And Apple isn’t my favorite company in the world. Granted, the new Macbooks are very nice computers, and the operating system is more manageable than it used to be, but I still don’t really like them.
So, why did I go to the Apple Store? Why not? I’d never been, I was bored, and I wanted to see if inverting the colors on a mac really worked. For those of you who don’t know, if you press Control, Command, Option, and 8 at the same time, the colors on the screen.
First off, it was pretty damn hard to find a computer I could use to actually invert the colors. Every single computer was being used. And the second one opened up, someone rushed up to use it. Some lady nearly tackled me rushing to get to one of the new MacBook Pros. I finally got to a computer and tried it. It worked. So I walked over to another one that happened to be free and did the next best thing, directed Safari to TheOneGreatX.com. After about 5 minutes, I walked past the inverted computer. Some lady was there fuddling around in System Preferences trying to fix the colors. After another 5 minutes, the screen was back to normal.
Another highlight of my trip was that some employee asked me to move out of the way because he needed to polish the wall. Nice, Apple, nice.
