An Apple store is so very desperately needed in Boise. Please Apple if you're listening don't leave us stuck between long drives and our unsatisfactory local choices. Sure we have Boise Mac Life which looks like a great store. When you look a little deeper, though, the advice has been suspect (should one really wait six months to start using Leopard?), the prices are inflated (the "cash discount" price is the list price and the list price shown is higher) and the service leaves us wanting.
Earlier this week we returned home and the MacBook hard drive promptly died. When it came back today it had the wrong OS on it -- a problem I've never encountered with Apple's service directly. Sure it had a nice embroidered Marware keyboard cover, but the time I'm left looking at that waiting to reinstall the operating system on a blank disk just so I can then do the file recovery is making me not like it so much. (Though I sense there are some Drupal keyboard covers in the offing).

Have one of ours
Las Vegas has three now. Still not directly in the casinos (Forum Shops is pretty close) but one day I'm sure.
And can you believe there are still lines at most of them for the iPhone 3G? Get yours yet?
Oh but of course
But of course and I happen to be talking on it while typing. And yes... please export an Apple Store while you're at it.
Yes, we really do need one.
Well, I must say that after visiting the Bellevue Square Apple Store, and having been a Boise resident for 13 years, we really do need one! Visiting the Bellevue Apple Store was an awesome experience, although there were about 50 people crammed in that little suite. But the way they had it laid out was well planned. They had about 15 iPhone 3Gs (there was always an open display unit), 6 Macbook Air's (again, at least one open) and a ton of ipods and computers (so many, that there was always at least one open for use). I loved every minute I spent in there. And I normally hate crowded places.
I wish I had an iPhone 3G... still searching the couches for loose change :)
