"The process was painfully slow and took nearly three and a half hours to complete"

wtf do you do at the genius bar for 3+ hours? I can imagine maybe 1 hour talking to the bored apple genius guy, convincing him that i am just as geeky as he is, but anything longer than that and I'd be annoyed.

I was in the Apple Store for a similar amount of time - Windows XP's install disc utterly trashed my computer, and it took two reinstalls to get it working right. (System Preferences is still messed-up for me.) I spent the first 30 minutes or so checking out the iPhone 3G, which had just come out. After that, I spent my time backing up my computer and restoring my original settings.

I know it's fun mocking the Geniuses, but they've always given me pretty excellent service. The name's kind of ridiculous, but don't knock a good thing.
