how about

setting up a mac with photoshop running os X and a pc with photoshop running xp. Put them on Monster sized UPS systems so they don't ever have to turned off. They put a digital counter over each machine, Number of restarts due to system instability since february 2002. I think that would impress people. Macs 0, Pc 200. The first time macs would enjoy having the lower score, hehe. Set these up in all apple stores. Or how about two machines designed to recieve emails and a counter showing number of times each machine has been infected with a virus. lol.

The fourth-largest city in America is crying out for an Apple Store!

Apple Stores

In various interviews Apple execs have said that the stores will not go into cities just because they are major markets. The target is to go where Apple has some foothold as well as areas with high traffic (natch). Houston is Compaq country (used to also be Enron as well!). I believe that there won't be more than another 12 stores opened during 2002. The economy dictates Apple slow down a bit.

Orlando

My guess is, that If Orlando is scheduled for an Apple Store, it would most likely be in the Mall at Millennia, which doesn't open until October. (The other 3 Florida stores --Tampa, Miami, West Palm -- are all in malls operated by Mall at Millennia's management company, Taubman.)

Wow, that's an interesting (and nice size) shaped store. I wonder what they're going to put in the top right corner....the bathrooms? An expanded Mac Genius section?

It kinda sucks that they're on the 3rd floor, but I am extremely excited to see them here in ATL. I just wish they would respond to my job application. Has anyone else applied for the job in ATL and heard back yet?

old news

I've known for awhile that a store was coming to Atlanta. It's been on Apple's jobs page since last year.

Lenox is a sucky mall

Lenox is the "downtown" mall for Atlanta, despite the fact that it's not really downtown. It's not a very nice mall, and not in a nice area either. It seems like there are murders around that area all the time.

Apple would have been better served opening its store at Mall of Georgia, which is much more upscale (the largest Mall in Georgia, always busy), North Point Mall, which is not as upscale but is nice and clean and crime-free, or Discover Mills, which is more of an outlet mall, but is really nice and new.

I will probably go to the Lenox store once, just to see it, but I am not willing to risk my life to go shopping, so I won't go there any more than that.

Lenox is the perfect spot

Man are you talking wack. If going to Lenox Square Mall scares you, God forbid you get within five miles of downtown.

For non-Atlantans, Lenox Square is in the heart of Buckhead, the snooty commercial district. Lenox Square hosts a Sharper Image store and offers valet parking. Have you ever heard of someone afraid of crime at a mall with valet parking? This is exactly the sort of place that should have an Apple store.

Lenox has a bad rap

I was born and raised in Atlanta, so I've seen quite a lot around here. For years, Lenox Square has been plagued with a bad image as a dangerous, crime ridden mall, especially in the minds of suburbanites who hated going "downtown." Many stopped going there when the local train service, MARTA, put a station near there. Now, things are quite different. The mall has valet parking, is enormous, has all the high-end shops like Neiman Marcus, etc. It's the PERFECT place for them to be. Yes, it's a mall, but it's chic without being too stuffy.

So anyway, that c*** about Lenox not being in a "nice area" and that "murders happen there all the time" is typical north Atlanta suburbanite nonsense.

HEY!

I love Eddie Bauer -- one of the only stores that offers everything in tall sizes and has them available in the store at all times -- in fact, the ONLY store I know of! I love Apple, but Eddie's gone ... that would make me sad except I live in the North East. :)
