Stock BlackBook
i gotta agree that i love going into Apple store, even though i know i dont need to be in there. but when i bought my macbook, the apple store in glendale, CA was a bad experience for me. The sales rep that i talked to felt like he was not getting paid enough for the things that he was doing. i asked him that i am interested in buying a blackbook, with a student discount. He then went to the back to grab one without even asking anything, then i told him that its my first time of buying a mac and i dont know anything about it, well almost everything, then he just seemed that he did not hear me. When i was about to pay, i told him about the student discount and he asked me of my student ID, i showed it, and asked me where is this school located at and all, and politely told him. and, prepare for his reason after i told him where the school is at, he said that its too far and its only suppose to be within 50 mile radius. I was shocked, i almost slap him silly but i told him never mind. i went to another apple store in Brea, CA... the best experience Ive ever had. got my blackbook, and i was one happy camper! :D

Yes! I recently went into an Apple Store for the first time ever, and as soon as I walked in I was amazed! There was a very long line for the iPhone 3G blocking the iPod counter but there were unoccupied MacBooks and iMacs just lining the walls. I was thinking to myself 'Can really I touch them????' After getting over the initial shock, I walked over to a MacBook and started enjoying. :D

It's fun to be able to walk into the store and play with the computers, and overall the environment feels comfortable and welcoming. Although, it would be nice if they had some chairs! (But if they did have chairs, I doubt I'd ever leave the store. :p)

Now there's an idea! Hrmmm....One could use a nearby iSight to record a video of the event. I see a YouTube video in the making.
