Marc,

Went into an Apple Store yesterday and it was full of people. Very well done with plenty of machines for the curious to play with. The iPod is nicer than I thought it would be too. Had to leave the store because I felt the impulse to upgrade the old Wallstreet.

Lots of software but I wish they had more titles on display. They could double the selection without taking up more space because the popular titles take up multiple spots. Even if some titles don't move very often, it does let the uninformed see what is available and helps to destroy the idea that there is no software for the Mac.

The new iMac was getting lots of attention but I think the laptops were about as popular. The store here seems to be a relative hit even the non-Mac people at work like it. If MacOS X runs the Unix/Linux apps these people use then you could see engineers start buying it over a PC upgrade. The fact that MacOS X is based on BSD Unix does matter to the tech crowd. Windows no longer has the interest of my peers and these people were the ones who latched onto Windows development from the start. Linux is building in momentum now and MacOS X could benefit from the development effort. MacOS X is the best of both worlds, really. Apple has done the best job of making a consumer Unix system.

Cheers,
Norm
