This is especially true when you hear about the different charges that
resellers have to pay compared to an Apple Store.  However, I wouldn't mind
an Apple store being put in my neighborhood, mainly because the closest
reseller is more than 50 miles away, and the closest Apple Store is 150
miles away.  I just had to live in Alabama, didn't I?  But anyway, I think I
live in a great location, especially since it's a college town with only PCs
dominating the area.  I think it's time for a change, but Apple's not
exactly listening.
