Apple Store opening draws rave reviews

[sbp]

"The opening Saturday of the first Apple Store turned a suburban Washington, D.C., mall into a scene from a rock concert.

More than 500 zealous Mac fans lined up as early as 4 a.m. EDT for the chance to be the store's first customer and to support Apple Computer's retail experiment. The crowd--which earlier broke into chants of "Apple! Apple! Apple!"--roared when the stored open at 10 a.m. EDT.

The spectacle drew curious gazes from early-hours shoppers and mall workers, who occasionally stopped to puzzle over the crowd building outside the store." http://news.cnet.com/news/0-1006-200...93.html?tag=lh

Rand, who drove more than three hours to Virginia specifically for the store opening, could hardly contain his excitement. "There's finally going to be place where we (Mac users) can go to shop and not be directed to a PC."

Yes, please. Good idea. Now get all the mac crap of all of the computer stores so I don't have to see it when I got to those stores to look at items that I will buy online.
