The First-Ever Apple Store, Introduced by Steve Jobs in 2001, Set to Receive Facelift [Update: No]

I miss this guy. I worked in the apple store under both him and Tim. I remember taking a moment of silence in store when he died, and collecting post it notes of messages from apple fans afterward. There was a giant change in Apple culture after Steve was gone. I can't really describe it but the energy was gone. It became like a used car dealership in terms of sneaky sales tactics, with management breathing down your neck to sell people apple care. Anyway, miss Steve and his vision.

Yep, I remember going in to buy a Macbook Pro at the London Covent Garden store, the sales person had no clue about thunderbolt or displayport, but replied by asking if I wanted to buy Apple Care and a training session for £400. I understand she's probably under pressure to do her job but it was bizarre and like talking to a robot.

Those were great times. I miss CRTs in the iMacs so maybe Apple should reintroduce a retro iMac with one in place of the 27" iMac.
