I was unaware of that as well... when I was in Cali a few weeks ago I thought about driving down to 1 Infinite Loop, but thought "what am I just going to stand outside like a weirdo?" If I'd known, I would have went. :(

The Company Store has been there for a long time.

The best part is that they sell items you won't find in the retail stores, such as Apple-branded t-shirts, hats, pens, keychains, etc.

I even got a free powerbook poster when I stopped by.

Yeah, my parents went by there last week on their way to a Rod Stewart concert in San Jose. They picked me up an Apple polo shirt and a keychain flashlight.

While I was there, they were handing out free stickers; the same white ones you get with a new Mac. Now I need more cars. ;)

Don't overdo it on the Apple-logo merchandise, though: I've heard of people getting kicked out because they tried to buy in quantity to sell on eBay.
