The Scene
Megabyte neophytes often find computer stores cold and calculating. The flashy demonstrations and tech talk leave even the computer literate feeling like a prehistoric Fred Flintstone. The bold and beautiful Apple Store, however, is less intimidating. Its motto: "Easy to use, easy to buy." The knowledgeable sales staff is eager to answer questions, but relaxed enough to let you feel your way around. There are also free, ongoing presentations and workshops by professionals to show you how to get the most from your Mac. The upstairs Genius Bar offers tech support and computer repairs, while the Kid's Area is accessible for fun and games.

The Goods
You can pluck anything off the Apple tree. The dazzling flat-screen iMac will reel you in, and Mac's amazing tech capabilities keep you hooked. PowerBooks, digital cameras, digital recorders and printers are also on display. All the essential accessories and software are also available.
