Michael meets Apple
I made it to the Apple Store in Bellevue yesterday. It was nice to see so many demo displays, showing people all the things you can do with your Mac.
The only down sides were the size, it felt small, and the shortage of software. I felt looking at the displayes that Apple needs to make more of an effort to make it look bigger. One idea would be a shareware station that allows users to look up shareware, read reviews, and burn them to disk to take home. Charge a nominal fee of $.99 to burn the disk. Shareware is the huge secret weapon in the Mac market -- there is simply tons of stuff out there that is every bit as good as the commercial stuff.
My son had a great time. He went over the eMacs set up with kids games. My brother is leaving for Japan soon, and wants to buy a new 12" PB before he leaves. We are trying to wait for the annoncement of the updated portables. He was sold on the ease of transitioning between English, and Japanese. Me, I just want a G5!!..mj
