Hey, looks like the quote button is broken from unclosed tags
Notice I quoted drb, drb quotes sky blue, not aswitcher, etc
I forgot about the red iPod sock. Yes, I got one of those, too. Upstairs on the 3rd floor. I think it's still in my backpack. 
I'm going back next week for a couple training sessions. I think it's going to be a great location for an
store. Looking forward to taking advantage of some of the extra training offerings they should be able to offer there with all of that space up on the top floor (eg, Pro Labs).

What sort of notice do Apple normally give for a store opening? We've got one opening "any day now" in Sydney - but still no actual date.
They advertised for staff about 6 months ago!

Well, as this thread dies out...
There have been rumors for a while of Cambridge re-doing that store. I've always found it a bit claustrophobic, and actually tough to get in and out of if just one or two people are standing up front (you know that choke point).
Now that Boylston is open, and the summer doldrums are almost upon us - do you think that renovation will happen?

The only way I can see renovating the Cambridge store is if they have the room to physically expand it to make it larger..
You wanna see claustrophobic? Go to the Salem NH (Rockingham Mall) store on a weekend

I wish I was near an Apple store so I can see the Macs upclose to see what they can really do. My closest is Annapolis 175 mi away. Many consumers react with a purchase descision when they can enjoy the full sensory experience of a product; seeing, touching, and hearing. The only Apple retailer near me is Best Buy, and according to their website they have Macs in-store, however every time I go to Best Buy to check out the Macs they never have one on display. And I see plenty of empty display spots. Almost as if they have been given direction to sell only PC. Apple really needs to pursue other retail options to have an even playing field chance against the cheapo, and junko, PC's in retail stores. I'm very eager to make the jump from my chronically ill PC's to Mac.
