Bussell was working full time as a “Mac genius” at the Apple Store in Newport Beach, sharing a $1,600-per-month apartment in Aliso Viejo.

Hey! Last I checked the RAM was bad and the logic board needed to be replaced. But I have monday-wednesdays off for school so hopefully those guys have it just about done.
