If the following link works for you, I’d very strongly suggest a read of this NY Times article about David Lerner (and especially all of the comments there too). Sounds like a much more personal and friendlier precursor to what some of us know as the “Apple Store”. (Only muy much better.)

Or, brief Wikipedia info here:

Wonder if DieHard knew or ever met this guy?

And I think maybe David Lerner had some of the same spirit that some of us here often exhibit?
