A huge store, but they didn't have anything yet. They said their shipment was late! I called over to the 5th Ave store and they did have iLife 08 so he picked that up. I'm gonna wait on iWork. I was in Fla and at the Boca Apple Store and asked if numbers was scriptable, but the employee didn't even know what applescript was!?! Thats scary. I hope applescript is supported in Leopard. They did show me the new keyboards and that it still has the 2 usb 2.0 ports on each side of the bottom which was cool. I kind of want to boycott the new keyboards until they come with the "apple key" :) I sent my husband out right after the keynote to the Soho store in NYC.

The place was packed half of the people buying the new iMacs and the rest buying iPod, plus the soon to be students getting laptops. Got my new iMac home and hooked it up with my iMac G5 iSight model and useing the migration assitant I transfered everything over in about 1 hour. OK this machine ROCKS! I was so happy with my G5 but this one makes it pale in comparison. So I guess I'll hand my G5 down to my mom will look good in her livingroom and I'll start once again to learn more about Mac's with my new baby. Great Shows Victor, keep up the great work.

It amazes me how new releases are featured. I did find iLife08 and iWork08 family packs there but they were all on a high shelf where I had to stretch to grab them. No keyboards. No iMac on display. They had them in the back and pulled me out one to take home (my husband wanted it for his office). The new minis were no where to be found...but after digging out my iMac he did come out with a mini that he was able to find. Seems they get boxes and need to unpack to even see what's there! You need to find a apple salesman who wants to bother. So...got iMac home and pulled out the new keyboard to attach to my PowerMac G5. Very nice indeed. Only problem was it needs a software update to get the new top row keys to work (volume, brightness, etc). Now it's friday (bought it on tuesday) and finally, this morning, the download was available. Love the new iMac and new software. Did you get back to the store? Displays were put up the next day.

I always ask who I'm speaking with on the phone and search them out when I go to purchase. That way, you have someone to quote should you decide to speak to a manager. It may sound mean, but it works, trust me. I've noticed now, when I call about product availability, they'll say "Hold on, I'll check..." Too many of them will just say "yeah, we got it" without really checking. Bummer! I always ask who I’m speaking with on the phone and search them out when I go to purchase.

I could not get up the nerve to go to the Apple Store to buy things when my Internet is out again and the best they can tell me is a tech can come out Friday. Yup in TWO DAYS. Hard to want to go buy new toys when one cannot get on the Net with them. I now have some traffic but its so slow I can barely post this comment Well Comcast has saved me from the Apple product bug today.
