Apple is looking for a "genius" to work at its Friendly Center store.
Related: Pogue likes the new Zunes.
I want a slick hand-held wifi-enabled computer, don't really need a phone or music player.
UPDATE: News travels fast -- the N&R posts a blurb on the Apple store.
UPDATE: N&R front-pages the story, which I should mention came to me via a tip on the Craigslist page from alert reader TL.
Word (on the Apple-leak boards) is that the pay is around $35K and it's not exactly easy to become a Mac Genius. Lots of hoops and stuff, good opportunity for young folks who will eventually make for more money.

It probably goes without saying, but me and the rest of the gang from the Iconfactory will be first in line when this new store opens here in Greensboro. I'm *really* looking forward to not having to walk into our CompUSA ever again. This is such great news.

As a long time Apple user I too will be happy to never walk in CompUSA again. As for a laptop, I just ordered my first.
Not a lot of whistles and bells, a little small and I will be forced to learn a little bit about Linnux but I think it will do everything I need and I'm feeling
as if my money is doing the most for the most people. And it's waterproof, tough as nails and comes with 1 year's free wireless. That should make it travel well on my motorized bicycles.
