Ryankop

Nevermind, those girls weren't them. And I believe the date is scheudled for May 21, or something like that for opening, however Apple always has their wild card!

They've come a long way in the last 2 weeks. I went by the middle of April and walked in while they were doing the construction (they don't actually lock those doors you know...). It was all bare white then and when I asked the crew when it was going to open they said May 20th or so, they weren't sure.

I talked to the guys across the way @ EBgames about if they were going to carry more Mac games or not and they just looked at me with this blank face as if they hadn't thought of it.

Maybe they'll be sleeping OUTSIDE the mall, and apple will simply ask mall officials to set up the line guides similar to how the bull ring's interior looks like below, leading outside the mall. (so that there isn't just a large mass of people waiting outside.)

Hi all,

I'm switching back after a decade in the wilderness Someone mentioned (earlier in this thread) that they are happier buying from an independent dealer given the flexible pricing they can offfer vs. Apple's list prices. I always assumed that Apple had pretty tight control of the retail channel and that this wasn't possible.

Now I'd love to save a few bucks on my Powerbook. Any suggestions as to what's possible discount wise, where and how? If you can't post in the forum please send me a PM.

P.S. I agree that it would be a shame of the independents are swamped and buried by the Apple Store in Yorkdale given their support for the brand these past many years.

My friend and I shopping at the Buffalo / Walden Galleria Apple Store actually found the opposite to be true.

He was looking at the "Good"-level model of the G5 iMac. While we were considering things, the last "Good"-level model walked out of the store, purchased by someone else.

We talked to the sales rep that was helping us, and she gave my buddy, IIRC, $100 of the "Better"-level G5 iMac. This was on top of the post-Thanksgiving-big-shopping-day discount he was already entitled to on the "Better" model.

P.S.: If you can believe it, when we drove back over the border to Canada, my friend fully expected to have to pay taxes on his iMac, since we'd only been in the States for the afternoon. To my suprise and his utter glee, the Customs agent waved us past. So he saved about $350 in CDN taxes, too!

I'd say that over 50% of the time, I'm waived through the Customs checkpoint without paying taxes. I think that they're more concerned with alcohol, cigarettes, guns and illegal immigrants than anything else right now.

I think that the Buffalo Apple Store is double in size of the one here at Yorkdale.
