    On topic, the Apple Centre in the Pallisades has actually closed now. Doh.

    Why are apple stores loved so much? I mean, its not as if anyone turns up for the opening of a new PCworld or Maplins, so why Apple stores?

    Because theres only 3 in the country. And if you've ever been into one, you'd know that they're more than just a store :)

    I've been into several apple stores. One in London, one in Edinburgh, one in Vancouver. At no time was I incredibly amazed by them, just a shop with a bunch of apple macs.

    Edit:

    The birmingham store still has nano's in stock. Only 2gig versions though.. Looks like I'll have to get a 2gig one :(

    Nope, guess I didn't look around long enough to be intrested. Went in to all three to resolve issues with me Ipod. I mean, I recognise that they have their computers set up and spend time with people and stuff, it just seems quite weird that you'd want to go to one if you didnt want to buy lots of expensive stuff. But each to their own I guess :eek:

    I went intoday, had to re-enrol at uni for me second year so I took a look, the nano looks great, had a play with a mac mini too. The store isn't as big as I though. You at UCE now K? I'm all of 100m away from you so we may cross paths at some time, I'm shure I would recognise the floppy hair :p

    I sure am... But I'm at residence in Westbourne Campus and I only go to BIAD for lessons and such. Either way, say hello if you see me. I'm not hard to miss if I'm wearing something short-sleeved ;)
