Retail
I bought a new laptop, but I am having difficulty transferring files from one to the other.
It is a new apple - I bought it on-line. I am convinced that Apple stores have the absolutely worst customer service on the planet. There is one around the corner from our place. I am completely ignored everytime I go in there.
We tried going to another store on Broadway - there was 5 employess who were all busy gazing into space. I left and ordered it on-line. I also got a mighty mouse, which I do not like. Felicia can use it instead of me.
I finished reading "Purpose Driven Church" by Rick Warren. When he was planting his church in Saddleback, he sent out a letter to the community inviting them to the church - 250 people showed up! That would never happen here. I would bet that not a single person would show up if I mailed all of Yaletown.
I think the reasons are cultural - people in America are still conversant w. the idea of attending church - as such a large number of population attend at least monthly. In Canada - Vancouver esp. the church is at the margins - except for certain pockets like the Fraser Valley or Steinbach.
The most effective way for reaching people in urban Vancouver - love them, build storng, deep relationships w. no agenda.
Good post by John Stackhouse here on Ted Haggard being "cured" of his homosexuality.
