WARNING: This may be considered by some as apple bashing, i don't mean to offend, i'm just making some observations.
So i was in glasgow this morning earning a case of strongbow by ding a few favours. and i noticed that there was an apple store. never having seen one before and being a geek i decided to take a peek.
i walked in, stopped, asked one of the guys if they had been robbed.
there's hardly anything there. they also only seemed to be selling 3 products. the big desktop macs, the laptop macs and some variety of ipod. everything seemed empty and sterile(bar me with my paint splashed jeans, t-shirt with food stains and doodles all over it and trainers that have seen much better days.) every seemed to be a clone of the next guy and trying enthusiastically to sell me less for more money.
not a very nice computer shop. i think i'll stick to my favourite where you can banter with the guy on the counter about geeky stuff and technical details(the 'iStaff' didn't seem to know much about the products, kept lapsing into how stylish it would make me look) and browse the boxes of bits while admiring the machines on the counter in various stages of assembly.
totally not going back there.
