Who Replied?Knowing Steve, he probably convinced the owners of the Mall to let him have half a year free rent.<P>"Do you want to sell suger water, or do you want to join me and change the world?" - That is what steve jobs said to John Scully the CEO of Pepsi Cola. How could he say no?
Maybe Steve had the execs over for drinks...<BR>Steve - "On, and please have some of the wonderful kool-aid!"<BR>Exec - "Hmmm, very tasty. Uh, what glen did you say this was from again?"<BR>Steve - "Ah ha ha. NOW GIVE ME THE SPACE OR GARISSON KEILLOR GETS IT!"<P>View image: /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

Dude. I was just there today. Around 4 or 4:30. I was the guy on the dual 800 w/ 22" cinema display for like a half hour looking around on the net for a bag for my iBook. <P>Darnit, I probably missed you.<P>They didn't sell ibook bags there (for shame), but I bought one of of eBay for $20 that seems pretty nice.<P> View image: /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

I <I>was</I> looking at some software, but decided I may get it cheaper online somewhere.
If you go there on weeknights and go into the video section (the second one from the front on the left) and you see a guy with silverish hair, that's my brother in law. I go there all the time. I like the store, it's kind of creepy though, if you look in The Apple store and then look across the way to The Gap, they look eerily similar.<P>Zman

Meh. That leather stuff just doesn't seem right to me. I want a nice nylon sleeve that's heavily padded, has pockets for my AC adapter and a small amount of other random junk, and has a handle for carrying, although I expect to mostly have it in my backpack.<P>Edit: Spelling
