I had almost exactly the same experience with the nearest Apple dealer
up here.  Of course by now I know that this is what to expect.  I really
don't know what causes the disconnect in information flow to Apple
dealers; perhaps Apple really expects all the salemen to study the press
releases posted on AppleLink, but if so somebody should tell them it
isn't working..
