Are Apple Store "sales persons" paid on commission? I got the distinct 
impression that they are not, maybe compensated based on store 
performance. The only thing I ever said to the sales person was that I 
was interested in a Powerbook but unsure about which model, and after a 
few quick questions, he wandered off to leave me to my decision. He 
didn't even try and give me a card.

It was nice to not think about how the sales person is compensated...

I am still digesting my experience at the Apple Store, but the best I 
can describe it as at this point is a blend of "Land Rover Discovery 
Centers" and IKEA, without the crowd.

I think I saw about 7 or 8 Ti books sold during my hour in the store...

I guess the Apple Stores are the only places with the ComboDrive Ti 
Powerbooks in stock.
