I'm also not going to tell you that I suddenly walked in, found out how nice they are, and walked out with an armload of Apple equipment.\n\nI will tell you that the staff of the Apple Store is top-notch. Even knowing that I'm a PC guy, and also knowing that the only reason that I was there (for three days in a row, no less) was to give the kids something to do for a few days during the summer - for free even, they were happy to do it, and they let me play with stuff the whole time.\n\nNow I didn't give up any passwords on the public computers, because I just don't do that. But I could have. Plenty of other parents did. I could have sat there and used the free wi-fi all day. But I didn't. Instead I just watched in amazement as dozens lined up for a new iPhone, and dozens more came and went for their turn at the genius bar. It's actually pretty amazing. If I ever get an Apple, this will be why.\n\nIf you go in, say hi to D'Art and Noelle for me."^^ . "4"^^ . "2008-07-30T00:00:00"^^ .
