supporting local apple stores

For those of you who want to support your local apple store but may 
also want or need to purchase online from the apple store, you can have 
it both ways. The next time you go to the apple store, ask one of the 
employees to help you get the url for their online store. Email that to 
yourself and use that url instead of the apple.com url

What happens is that you get a specific url designated to permit online 
purchases to be credited to the store belonging to that url. So you are 
purchasing from your local apple store via the online Apple store. 
Unfortunately, there is no system in effect to permit that feature for 
non apple resellers.

For special orders, ie, education, business and federal employees, many 
discounts can not be honored in the apple store but they can help you 
find the url which will let you purchase online with credit for the 
purchase going to the local store.
