    That teeth remark would get you banned in AO, little mister.



    In those pics, I thought Michelle was a young man, until I clicked her pic and saw her name. I suppose that remark would get ME banned?



    Anyway, it's great that they're getting a store.



    I still cannot believe Nashville is without an Apple Store. It's every bit as hip and modern as Atlanta (which, according to non-Southerners, is the only city in the South that matters). Nashville has a hopping art community, TWO major league sports teams (Titans and Predators, both of which don't suck).



    And they have somewhat of a small music community too...most people don't know that.







    But seriously...due to the art, sports and music scene (and all the marketing/design jobs that support them) I find it really strange that Apple hasn't planted a flag in that particular Mac-friendly town. IT'S the L.A. of the South, not Atlanta.

    I'm of the same background. But there's a crackdown on that sort of thing. Screw it, though...I make fun of anyone, anytime.



    Stereotypes exist for a reason, you know. I mean, have ever se...never mind.

    back to the subject at hand... if you flip back and forth between max and megan's pictures you get a weird morphing effect...

    pscates, not to mention the Tennessee Volunteers football program is one of the biggest in the nation. Their stadium holds well over 100,000 fans and Phillip Fulmer has built himself quite a dynasty there over the years. Of course, Penn State slams them every time we play you guys but that's besides the point....Tennessee is really a huge sports state.

    Some of those decay picture at least make sense. I mean, they are clearly from the mouths of humans that just don't take care of their teeth. But it's stuff like this:

    that really weirds me out. Is that human or werewolf?

    Beautiful people for beautiful computers!

    Hey you Nashville Cat, hope you DO get your own store....meanwhile, don't hesitate about visiting us down here in the ATL. We don't WANT to be the LA of the South (you do know that's Lower Alabama don't you?)....we're calling ourselves the Floston Paradise of the south now!



    And I'd be the one who was catching the smackdown on the toothy brit comments over in AO. Note that ALL of my family surnames are of British and Scottish origin...it's a gaelic/anglo-saxon thing, you wouldn't understand~



    Apple. A computer you can really sink your teeth into, all four of them!

    Right stop the tooth bashing!!



    If, let's say for arguments sake , Brits have bad teeth, it's more likely down to the fact that dentists are the most extortionate people in the world.



    Back on topic:



    Apple have picked a good spot for the store, if not the most expensive.

    All the celebs and high rollers will be in there like a shot switching once they see the elegance of how these stores look inside and out.

    i wanna know when there will be a nice big Apple store on the Champs Elysee here in Paris.



    I mean, Paris *IS* where Europe HQ is after all and the market is pretty good here. I've met quite a lot of very very hardened Mac zealots here. Pretty cool

    I can happily point her in the direction of some seriously brilliant, more underground, theatre in London when she's here.

    The Vols are based in Knoxville!



    About 100 miles EAST of Nashville. But Vanderbilt is in Nashville, so we'll go with that one.







    I read that about 8 more stores were scheduled to open in 2004. Not counting the UK one, ONE of those 7 has to be Music City.



    No, they'll probably stick two more in the L.A. area and another three in Chicago.
