In the U.S and CA the apple store is fucking crowded, I tend to avoid that place like the plague.
Over here though, it's almost always empty and the service is top notch, maybe because not many people can afford apple products here
And I really love the iPhone/iPod, never really cared about the iMac.
Totaly unrelated but some people deserve to be slapped, i remember some dude complaining to his ISP because he said they were messing with him by changing google's logo everyday.
