New Apple Store in Edinburgh - Opening Shots

[Rob MacKillop]

We gave Rhona a BIG Apple Gift Token for her 18th, two days ago, and today Apple opened a new store in Edinburgh. There were hundreds in the queue. When you finally got in - after and hour of waiting - you were faced with a dozen idiots shouting "Hurray!" and giving you tee shirts. I almost became violent...

After another hour in store, we came out with nothing...though there are plans to return! Hopefully it will have calmed down a bit.

In no particular order...

Excellent set Rob. They seem to have overdone the tartan thing a bit I think!

I bought an iPad in an Apple store in Philadelphia a few years back. I tell you, if the sales person had said' "Awesome" one more time I'd have decked him - in fact the only thing that stopped me was a vision of him getting back on his feet, holding a bleeding and nose and then saying, in a muffled and rather nasal way, ...

thank you rob, for reaffirming my faith in android. nothing is more annoying than the apple way of life. they may make a good product, but just having to put up with the yuppies they hire is more than enough to put me in jail for life.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

They do rub a few of us up the wrong way, but most people seemed to love the attention. And they do make some awesome products

I love the first image, but can't understand why all these people run after rotten apples I guess the day was not very fruitful then Rob?

 

[Rob MacKillop]

[Douglas McMann]

[Rob MacKillop]

Groan!

 

[Pete Askew]
