Night of the Panther
So my wife and I actually went to the Apple Store at the Cambridgeside Mall in Cambridge, Massachusetts to witness the "Night of the Panther" first hand (then I made it up to her with dinner in Boston). I was really impressed with the number of people waiting in line for the event (my wife described the line as "disconcerting"), though I couldn't help but think that everyone who was there was everyone in the area who would ever actually buy Panther at retail. Anyway, after an interminable 40 minute wait to get into the store, we finally received our 10 percent discount (unused) and a Panther keychain. Yippee, right? Also, my wife had a few choice questions for the geeks waiting faithfully for the software release ("What is wrong with what you're using now?" and "Why do you have to get this right now?" were my favorites). She's just not into computers.
