Poll question: Guess which store was busiest at the mall today?
Went for a hair(s)cut (same wonderful lady for 21 years, first person to cut my beautiful kid's hair too) and I took a quick walk around the lower floor of the mall. I actually tried to go in but it was loud and crowded.

1. I guessed the Apple Store.
The one at the Mall of America is always packed.

2. The Apple Store at The Grove (LA Farmer's Market) was packed solid!
Guess a lot of people are waiting for the new models and Lion to come out this week...

3. If I'm paying $2200 for a laptop, it wont be a new Mac.
I'd rather have one of these:

35. Yup. One of the reasons I won't buy them again.
I've found a few manufacturers I'm interested in who build all their PCs in the US by unionized techs with unionized, US-based tech support. Falcon, Origin, and I think Sager all meet these requirements.

13. sure,
but in this case, we know there is a definitive answer, because we know you took an accurate head count of each of the stores. :D

So, at some point, you should return to this thread and post the correct answer.

by the way, great haircut, it looks really good on you. :hi:

There is always a long line in there. Other stores have tumbleweeds rolling down the aisles.

30. APPLE
I couldn't get close to the displays, I had wanted to look at the 27" mew desktop. Cool from a distance! Lot of people waiting to talk to the 'geniuses' at the service counter.
