Apple taking a cue from Gateway?

updated 09:10 pm EDT, Wed August 8, 2001

 
", 0, 0);


Apple's retail store strategy, which will be bolstered by two store openings this weekend, is perceived as "following in Gateway's retail footsteps [...] taking its products directly to consumers with splashy, high-tech showrooms that it can tightly control." The article notes that Minnesota has one of the highest percentages of Mac users per capita in the country.

    Maybe, but you'll not be able to convince us with that comment.

    I'm Proud

    I'm from the Twin Cities, so this factoid really makes me proud to be a Minnesotan. They say people from Minnesota are generally smarter and more culturally enriched than a lot of other people. Maybe the percentage of Mac users is another fact to back that up? ;-)

    What I want to know is, who was counting how many Macs per person we have? And where can I find those numbers?

    Think Stupid

    This is just another example of the main stream just not getting it. They simply don't understand Apple and don't have the ability to recognize that Apple is not like any other PC company.

    huh?

    The only thing Apple's retail strategy has in common with Gateway's is that they're both STORES. Nothing more. To say that Apple is somehow copying by building a STORE is ridiculous. That means everyone in the mall is copying each other.

    Two this weekend?

    There is only mention of one openning this weekend on Apple's retail site and in the article. Does anybody know what the other one is?
