So I went to the apple store in short hills close to my house, beacause my r key was just getting to annoying me not fixing it, (it had fallen off and I couldn't get it back on correctly) so they just went to the back got another key, and put it on my powerbook and I walked out, they were very nice, and very timely, called me at the exact time my appointment was for.

I am very impressed with apple and their genius bar.

I've been to the short hills one as well. I usually go to Bridgewater or Menlo Park, however, because I live right outside Princeton. Where do you live?

I usually go the bridgewater store because its the closest one to me. I have been to the short hills one though and they are very helpful.

Then again, some of us don't live in NJ... ;-)

Glad to hear your experience with the Genius Bar went well. My experiences have been about 50-50. The most egregious example was when I dropped my iBook off for service and they (temporarily, for about 24 hours) lost it.
