I scheduled an appointment for 10:50am yesterday. They didn't call my name until 11:30am. The whole experience felt like a cross between a DMV and Doctor's Office visit. But at least they did eventually take care of me, so I'll let the 40 minute wait slide this time.

couldn't have said it better myself.
edit: of course, i'm 100% certain that Apple users are the lowest common denominator on average. The iPad is an impressive device...but the users are on the lower end of the scale when it comes to "computer literacy." No need to argue with me...it's MY opinion after DECADES of observation.

No, but Apple has, and thus Apple users have.

However the new marketing revolution didn't start until Jobs returned in 1997. tbh it didn't make too much stride until first iPod came out. Those neon color apple computers were one of the worst computers imo.
2 things jump started apple after years of crappy management
OS X and iPod in 2001

Not even the stores have been around for decades.
If there was a Microsoft store, I'm sure it would be filled with users as well having problems.

Nope, but you seem to lack the ability to comprehend a point of view. The "decades" reference was referring to "Apple users." The comment was directed at users, not the devices in their hands.
I've been out of school for almost 2 decades now. I can remember apple vs. pc arguments back then. The fanboi mentality didn't explode until long after of course.
