I live in Melbourne, Australia... The Apple Reseller situation here is pretty crappy BUT I think that most Australians and New Zelanders do not realise that Apple sell more Macs in San Francisco Metro area (that's excluding the bay area -- duh...) than they do in the whole of Australia and New Zeland combined!!! So, for the moment, I'm not holding out for an Apple Store down here yet...
Got a tip for us?

That's funny. My brother lives in Melbourne and he has an Apple Store within 5 minutes' walk. I live north of Sydney, and there's an Apple Store about 10 minutes away. Similarly, I used to live in Perth, where there are Apple Stores all over the place (a long time before they started popping up in the US - I remember posting something on usenet (comp.sys.mac.misc) around circa 1995 about purchasing something from an Apple Store and the reply from somebody in the US was "Huh, what's that?").
About the sales figures - I don't know about that, but I would really like to add one more sale to Apple Australia's figures by getting rid of my PC (or just for games unlikely to be ported to the Mac). Unfortunately, I've just paid off a loan so it's going to be another year I think
.St. Louis
In st. louis they are redoing a mall and it plans to reopen in september and one of the tenets (according to the st. louis post dispatch) is apple.

Does everyone know that Apple has hired employee's to take over the Apple store within a store at almost all of the CompUSA's. If you look on apple's job postings they are hiring Apple Solutions Consultants for the stores. They have on in the CompUSA in Towson Maryland. Why would Apple hire their own employees for CompUSA's when Apple stores are being put near by. There was no way that I was going to drive to tysons corner when the CompUSA has the same things with Apple Employees running it.
Re: Orlando
Again, another example of Apple's ability to confound the speculators. Why in the hell would they put one in Orlando, its mostly a tourist city, one you fly to more often than not.
Take the familly to see the Mouse and get an Apple to go with it. You're already spending a fortune for the trip, add a mac and it makes it a little silly. Besides, there's another Apple store an hour away in Tampa! Go figure.

Another one for So Cal

I heard that the new store will be in The Grove at the Farmer's Market at 3rd and Beverly. I heard that from a friend who saw a listing of the stores coming to the new mall. Now I won't have to drive to Gendale to ogle all the new Macs.

Been goin' to Mayfair since... well... since before it had a roof. (Yup! it used to be an open-air place.)
Bought GoLive down at Woodfield Mall in Schaumberg, Illinois in early January of this year; I really love that mall, but having to go 120 miles away isn't so great just for one li'l 'puter store.
Dunno where at Mayfair it'll be, though. Would think the street level, as the morons who redesigned the atrium to accomodate the second floor have put in only a slightly-less dinky elevator to replace the old one.
