I use my iPod in the kitchen, plugged into a set of speakers. I left the USB cable for the iPod on the kitchen counter on Christmas Eve, and it ended up resting in a small pool of water on the counter. The next day, the cable was all gummed up and it didn’t work anymore. I went to our local Apple Store today to replace the cable, and was amazed at how fluid and easy the entire experience was. A guy met me at the door. I told him what I wanted. He got me one off the shelf and asked if I was paying with a credit card. I said I was, and he whipped out a little scanner device maybe 50% larger than a Palm Pilot. He scanned the cable and swiped my credit card using this device. “Do you want us to send you a receipt via e-mail?” he asked. He already had my e-mail address on file. I said, “Sure, thanks,” and split. No lines, no counters, just quick and efficient service. Wacky!
