The worst thing in 1954 was a bikini

[substitute]

I was at the MAUL today and outside the Apple store there was a line of people with their little welcome cards or something waiting to buy a new iPod. The usual tiresome egotistical Apple Store employee was there giving posters and stuff to people waiting in line to BUY SOMETHING.

I wish I'd come up with the Apple Cult. It's great to see people sacrificing their time and energy to give someone else money.

It's interesting, because it's totally not like that in Canada -- almost certainly because the populace here is so much smaller than in the US, thus fewer Apple users too. It's almost more like an underground here. The people in the stores are friendly and happy to serve you, because they know we never get anything on the first day here anyway, and we pay exorbitant price differences because of the exchange rate, so it's all much more "hey man, let's all drink coffee and talk about music, because we don't know when we're getting X in anyway -- we might as well have some fun in the meantime."

Not that I haven't met some insane cultists for Macs here. STEVE SAYS NO ONE COULD EVER NEED MORE THAN ONE BUTTON, YE OF LITTLE FAITH! BURN ALL WHEELMICE! owwwwwww...
