Yep I was able to join my Apple friends at the Apple store holiday event and it was great! In the King of Prussia, PA mall, my sister and I arrived at 5:50pm (the store was to open at 6PM for the event) and the line took TWO whole walls of the mall (meaning like a street block continuing around the corner)! Everyone who didn't know would ask "what's this line for?" then we'd answer proudly "It's for the Apple store holiday event!". Some people didn't have a clue, some did and didn't care, some joined us and/or agreed to spread the word and some stupid people would pass by us saying "that's for the Apple store, THE APPLE store!" like saying it once wasn't enough or like they didn't want to get any closer.
The Apple associates were so helpful and one of them was as excited as I was, and said "look! two whole walls! this is how many Apple users there are and what they're willing to do for their favorite computer! you're at the end of the line but I am sure you don't mind do you?", I mean he was so cheerful he'd jumpstart anyone's soul, well... almost like Steve Jobs :) It wasn't long till more and more people showed up. I mean the store which is about the size of two average size Radio Shacks (bad example but what else can I say?) was packed and we got to enter the store at about 6:30!, needless to say after 45 minutes of browsing a lookin throw the software, the G4s and the iMacs; I went out and there was still a few people in line. Upon opening the door at 6PM I could hear the sound of applause of all the excited people. Really a once in a blue moon event. I AM sure Apple did not expect THAT many visitors and really hope they do this more often, a great experience and I am glad I was part of it. I could say that that store got easy about 2,000 visitors, still had quite a lot people when I returned at10PM then finally left at 10:45pm. The event was to last till midnight. Just wanted to share my Apple experience with all of you guys and hope some of you had such experience too. Oh! I bought two softwares for my children, blue's clues and Disney's toy story activity center, I can't wait for them to come back from their thanksgiving vacation to give it to them since I really have a lot of others for Christmas already :) Liliana -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
