Went to the opening of the new Apple Store in Milton Keynes shopping centre this morning. It is amazing. Got a free tshirt for being part of the first 1000 to come in. Anyone else been to an Apple Store?

Sometimes I like to queue outside my local apple store just for fun. Even if they're not launching anything. That way, I can harass tedious cretins like you.

Oh what a surprise, another tedious thread from trishite. Consider yourself warned.

Apple sucks, and Apple Stores blow chunks. They might as well call it "Pompous Nerd Cavalcade" as that's what it is.

I have a Macbook Pro and iPod, and from these I can easily say Apple make great products. But due to the fact that that they release better products just after I buy mine (i've had my Macbook for 3 weeks and then they bring out a newer one), I hate them. Just for that... No warning or anything. They just appear and piss people off...

Right. Don't know why you reckon updates just appear mysteriously for hardware, their update cycles are pretty regular and if you're attentive and do some research you can find out if to hold off just like any other hardware developer.

if you get bitten then of course that's a shame but that is the cost of buying technology and not doing your homework before making a purchase.

Yes, I always find it so annoying when companies try to improve their products. How inconsiderate. Personally, I think Apple gave up on the IIE way too fast.

The IIe was quite the quality machine, wasn't it? Did give that one up a bit fast for the 128k, eh?

I'd say it was the beginning of the end, really.
