Apple Store

Would you believe it, in all the months I have been here, I have never stepped into a real Apple Store? I got my first chance at the mall. It wasn’t big, just one of the stores of the many inside the mall, but passing by I saw it crowded with people, and most importantly, a huge white apple glowing above the door.

I just had to go in.

Perhaps Apple stores are not very good if you’re trying to feel content. The first vibe I got from the store, despite its crowdedness, was that of spaceyness. Definitely felt spacey and nice. Tables with computers and iPhones on it, ready for you to smear your hands on. The older models are relegated to the side. Made me suddenly dislike my white Macbook and wish for one of those newer, slicker, unibody aluminum Macbooks with black keyboards. Sigh. But beyond its appearances, its guts are not that much different from mine. So it wasn’t that bad. But my Macbook will probably stay with me for a couple of years - depending on my priorities. A new amp, or maybe a new guitar (think Gibson or PRS) would be pretty awesome. Placed on the scale against a Macbook? Difficult decision. At least it’s not one I have to make now.
