A hilarious expirience with AppleCare

I got through to a guy on the phone and he didn’t have the slightest clue what he was doing, I had to tell him about the System Preferences with the audio input panel and suggested it might be something to do with that, at which point started to leaf through the manual in front of him, let out a big sigh and said…

“You wouldn’t have this problem if you had a Windows PC, everything would just work”

Actually,

To be completely honest. I spent alot of time today trying to get my microphone levels to work properly. Only because my sound-card shipped with another application built in which fights with windows over who gets to run the specs on my mic. If only I had a skateboard, I wouldn't have this problem

I've been having numerous difficulties with my Nano since Apples updated iTunes, and I've been to the "Genius" bar on several occasions, and I find the title misapplied.

When I mention that I have a PC, they throw up their hands and seem to have an "all bets are off" philosophy. They also have no answers when I point out that everything worked fine before THEY updated iTunes. That usually results in a blank stare, babbeling and in one case an ill-advised attempts to get me to buy a Mac Mini.
