I volunteered for the OS 8.5 Demo Days. I worked alongside the Apple
Regional Rep and got an earful. Basically (and I realize this was
several years ago), it was just as Michael states; the CompUSA General
Managers were openly hostile in this area. The rep sold Macs in spite of
the obstacles the GM's threw up.
As for working at CompUSA, I just did a search on their web site. If
they're looking for Mac-savvy people, they sure aren't posting any
position announcements. I found just one (in New Jersey) for a Service
Center Manager.

[snip] I think a lot of it has to do with
what kind of GMs the stores had.
Oh, and one other thing... if anyone out there is in the retail world
and
wants a better job/pay, you should check out the local CompUSA. Mac
people are apparently in high demand, so you will definitely make at
least
a few dollars more than your PC counterparts if you push.
Give 'em hell ;)
