Come on where is the Austin TX store? There is a huge technology center here with lots of Mac users - we need a store!

I live in santa monica, and the third block of the promanade sucks. It has almost no stores, and nobody goes there except for the homeless and the drug dealers.

and the promednade is great.

a) its has more stores that most malls. what the hell are you talking about?

b) homeless its a open air in an age where social programs are looked on like a disease so what do you expect.

c) its open air and has a great mix of things great place overall..

110370 04/18, 12:39am, EDT But Austin has Fry's!

Seriously. If you want to learn about Macs, get a good book or go on the Web. You will find better help there than an underpaid Apple Store employee. If you want price, go online. If you want selection, go to Fry's.
If you want a high-priced boutique, well, then, you know where to go . . . god forbid if word gets out that there are more than 5 printers in the world that work with Macs though!
