Sorry, guys. I just kind of made the post and then left the gorgeous 17-inch MacBook Pro to go look at other neat stuff, so I didn't see the iSight request. Man, when I was on line outside the store, I met a couple of really cool guys and we just spent hours talking about technology; it was great. Some notes about the store and Apple stuff in general I thought I might share:
-The entire store is actually underground with the glass cube being what you have to walk into to get to either the stairs or the glass elevator.
-The store is actually all on one floor but really big.
-There's a nice bench-type thing around the elevator in the middle of the store, where people can sit down and relax or even pop out their own laptops if they want to.
-Steve Jobs was at the store, making appearances both outside and inside over the course of the evening. For his grand exit at around 11-something, he sadly did not take the glass elevator but instead went out an employee exit.
-I'm sure most of you know this by now, but I hadn't seen an iPod nano up close before and those things are REALLY REALLY small. It boggles my mind.
-The quality of the image on the iSight camera built-in on the new Macs is astoundingly good. The only improvement I could think of is a way to accommodate dim conditions better.
-MacBooks were definitely the hot item at the store, seeing as I was there for more than 2 hours and wasn't able to get my hands on one even once! I definitely like the new look they have, even more so then the iBook G4's.
-One neat feature of the store is that there was a wandering cashier dude with a scanning device. If you were paying by credit card and were okay with having an email receipt instead of a printed one, you could just take whatever you were buying to him, and he'd scan your stuff and give you a bag.
-As I'm sure you're all aware of by now, this place was PACKED. I got there between 7 and 8, and I had to wait in line until right before 10:00 to get into the store. Amusingly enough, there was a team of Apple employees at the entrance to the glass cube whose only job was to clap and cheer every time someone entered or exited the store. I wonder if they'll be there all the time and not just today.
That's all. If you guys have any questions about the store, I'll try to answer them.
