    To sum it all up...is it worth it? Not really. Add in the tax and the fact that there are no freebies like at the catalogs and what you have is BLEH!

    For the most part Bodhi's right. The only reason why I might buy something is because I've got a gift card.



    Also, if you spend more than $50 you get a free gift.

    More Sales Tax Free states need an Apple store.



    I think New Hampshire is currently the only one.

    Also: sale on the iMac.



    This should get you rumormongers started. Jeez. Can't imagine nobody noticed it. And the closest Apple store is about 6000 miles from my front door. <img src="graemlins/oyvey.gif" border="0" alt="[No]" />

    It was an ugly mousepad and some puzzle magnet thing. Also I noticed some people got Apple wrapping paper.



    I ended up getting the JBL Creatures even though in the past I was never impressed with them. I was looking for new speakers lately and I was listenting to the Creatures tonight in the Apple store and they actually aren't bad at all and while they were on sale I figured I'd get them (especially since I wanted to use my $50 gift card).

    At least at Palisades the line to purchase things wasn't long. There weren't too many people there.

    Apple mentioned the wrapping paper in their promo email thingy. Was the mousepad the gift if you actually spent $50?



    The magnet set was like those magnetic poetry things you get, where you combine words to form sentences.



    AI will be releasing a special set for each of our forums that captures some of the most frequently used terms... giving to the user the feeling of actually being there. Must be over 18 to order the FC set.



    (Actually, this isn't a terrible idea )

    Yeah, the mouse pad was the gift if you spent $50 or more.

    Hey EmAn did your post count reset or did you just change your post count to 10?

    You think I would actually change it? Of course not. Who knows what happened.

    That's because tonight the genius bar was the "iPod bar".

    Could've called before going knowing that it was a special event. Calling the kettle black syndrome here. <img src="confused.gif" border="0">
