Why do people bother staying inline? I mean... is the store stocked enough so that they can fulfill everyone's wants?

Most people probably aren't there to buy things. Apple Stores are very much an extravogent place, with products all over the place to try, a projection room, Genius Bar, and more. This coupled with the fact that it's new, and a lot of people like to see new things, is probably what drove them there.

I work at a store at a mall, and right infront of our store is an apple store...

its ok i guess... i mean... meh. I don't see what all the fuss is about. Sure they look nice, but after I used it for about 30 minutes, I clearly saw that Windows was more effecient (not software wise, but speedy in going through files and stuff) and functional.

Bottem line... apple is 2 pricy... but i guess software dependability comes at a price.

<Japanese101>They are not brainwashed as much as they enjoy being group oriented. Individualism is not an option in many cases. This may appear to be brainwashing to outsiders but in reality it's more like the "in" thing to do. Fashion is really big there as well. Thus Apples are more fashion oriented and hugely popular in comparison</Japanese101>
