I had a bad experience at the Apple store this past weekend. I had to wait in line for 25 minutes to purchase our homes fifth Mac as a Christmas present for one of our kids. I was not happy. Now don't get me wrong, I love Apple. I have been a loyal Apple customer for over ten years. So I'll do what ever it takes to get the product I love. It just pissed me off that I had to wait in line with a bunch of "Johnny come-iPod lately's". It even pissed me off more that the store, knowing how well the iPod would sell over Christmas, had set up an isle for those JUST purchasing iPod's that the newbies weren't even using. It was frustrating waiting in line behind grandmas and watching them fumbling through their limited understanding of technology, trying purchase something so that seven year old Suzie could listen to her downloaded Jesse McCartney mp3 on Christmas morning.
I'm happy for Apple's success. I love their product. They should just create a seperate check out line for five year and older customers. See, it will always be your down fall in life if you forget those who got you to where you are.
And just for the record I did read "Outland" in this Sunday's funny paper section and I thought it was very humorous. I am a snob, but I can also laugh at myself at the same time. Go Steve Jobs!
