Brings back a funny memory…I went to the Apple Regent Street (London) store this past August whilst on vacation. Sat in the rear row of the theater and was watching the demos (I didn’t have a computer with me at the time). I woke up an hour later after dozing — jet lag caught up with me in that comfy, warm theater with the reassuring voice of the presenter.

Cheers,
Gerry

i had the same issue for aperture in the san francisco store. I went and got a apple rep and asked them if i could have a demo and then they kicked the guy off checking his email to give me a demo of aperture.

I’m a cultist, and usually visit one of the local Boston Apple stores every other weekend - just to be around the vibe. I know - weird.

Anyway, I have been one of those moochers myself. But I found that if someone was surfing or reading email, all I had to do was stand behind them, and they pretty much got the hint. I don’t think they want someone else reading their email, so they usually take off. OR…

Ask a rep about something like Aperture… and they will help clear a machine for you.

“I would like to play around with Aperture on a dual G5 please, but the machines are all taken.”

“Well, let’s see. I think this machine over here can be freed up. Let’s go see.”

Mike, your a nice guy. Even though I still worked out when I met you, you CAN be intimidating. Generally when you smile about talk about the future of Flash, your damn approachable, yeah, but when you have that slightly down-aimed look, and the countenance of your face becomes somewhat blank… I wouldn’t mess with you.

Might try that next time you go into a Mac store. If I was mooching on a Mac and saw you giving me a glare, I’d quickly “log out”.
