G5 on display?

Did they have any G5s on display?
Probably not, as someone mentioned earlier in the thread before the store opened.

If not will they get a demo G5 before September?

Pictures

Lol....

the pic "apple staff looking at the queue" had my father in it.


Anyway, no, there was no G5, as for future display, I have no idea.

[Giaguara]

thx arn ... 😛

i have a feeling some of us in the queue will be in the tokyo store opening.

btw all pics ( i have more ) are 2000-something x 1500-something pix and all made with the same camera (olympus camedia c-740 ultra zoom), just in case someone likes the digi-photography or will like to have some of the pictures bigger. (pm me if so) 😀

(oh yea, i am the 'turkish' in the queue)

Thanks

Superb photos Giaguara! Thanks!

Also thanks pourhadi for the G5 info!
Would have been fitting for a new 'flagship store' though... 🙁

well, i just got home from Chicago. it's 7:15 am Eastern Standard time. sheesh. in my post from the store I complained about not getting one of the free iSights... well get this. I had been hanging around the iSight test place for about an hour and a half getting handfuls of those cards to see if i won without getting a winner. after i posted that last post i was leaving and one of the apple store guys handed me another card and i won the 20th iSight!!!!! it was awesome!!! i've got a few pics to post after i wake up... i'm going to go crash for a few hours.

The entire building is absolutely beautiful. I hope one day I wil be able to see it and SoHo.

Chicago Tribune

Hey!

I made it into the Saturday edition of the Chicago Tribune!

First page of the Business section! Close up shot of me and a caption as follows:

"Danny Pourhadi (left) sits in a long line awaiting Friday's opening of the new Apple Store on Michigan Avenue. He and three campanions camped out at the store for more than 14 hours."

I guess that confirms my position as a Mac fanatic!
