Yesterday Apple opened their new store on King Street to a large crowd of people anxiously waiting to see the latest iPhone 3G.  Of couse I had to stop by to check things out.  The store, formerly Granny’s Goodies and briefly Cumberlands night club looks beautiful.  On the inside it’s classic apple, sleek and modern.  On the outside it still blends in with the rest of the historic buildings.  The best thing about this store is that local Apple users finally have a place to take their Mac or pick up a new one.  Before, the only choice was to have it shipped.  Unfortunately for me, I didn’t get there in time to get a free T-shirt, but that’s ok.  I got to play with the new 3G iPhone, an Apple TV and the MacBook Air.  Nothing really new, but still fun to play with.  That’s the only thing about IT, there’s rarely something computer related at a retail store that’s a big surprise.
