Yep. They make such a good product--I mean, it absolutely blows everything else out of the water. And it was brilliant for them to go the retail store route, because once you sit down at an iMac, and see all the cool peripherals, you don't mind paying an extra $300. The iPods are just sick--so far above the other mp3 players out there that it's pathetic.
And there is absolutely no competition between their salespeople (who, I think, are best described as incredibly polite geeks) and the people who troll the aisles at Comp USA or wherever else trying to get you to buy a PC.
Like you said, dangerous--to one's checking account!

I agree.
Incredibly polite geeks. Not pushy, though.
I don't have an iPod ( yet) Waiting for when we sell the house, and then i am going to blow some SERIOUS cash!

to me, a powerbook MAC can't begin to compete with a refurbished IBM Thinkpad which costs only 30-40% as much as Apple's cheapest... particularly if the IBM is running Linux.
