Asked whether a Genius had ever been unable to solve a problem, Brumfiel joked: “One time, something kept beeping inside my laptop and they couldn’t figure it out after running all these tests. So, yes, the Genius couldn’t solve that problem.”. Brumfiel pauses. “But when I got home, I realized the beeping was from a little stopwatch in my backpack.”. It’s now early afternoon and Brewster takes a few minutes to talk about his love for all things Apple. It’s a common trait among employees here, with every Genius able to wax poetically about the first time they fell in love with an Apple product. For Brewster, it was working extra chores and saving up all his money as a kid “to buy the second-generation iPod classic while I was in middle school.
