re apple poplarity:

it just amazes me. i was in an apple store the other night, late, just about closing. the lines were to the door. i stopped at the 'genius bar' and asked some info on a powerbook, and then asked if they had one in stock. yes, they did. well, i'd like to buy it then. "oh, i'm sorry, we're about to close."

hunh? 2 minutes before closing, i'm going to drop down $2200 for a powerbook and they refuse to sell it to me? clearly they didn't need my business. (i bought an ibm t42 instead, off the web.)
