[Leica] Trouble at the Genius Bar

[cummer at netvigator.com (H&ECummer)]

I was at the Apple Store at IFC II a couple of days ago. My MacBook decided 
not to wake from sleep and its where the copy of my CS4 is kept which I use 
to process my African pictures - so after making an appointment I went off 
to get it fixed. I waited while they transferred all the data to a portable 
hard drive (just in case) and saw this happening across the bar from me:

The Apple Store in Hong Kong was estimated to have twice the sales per 
square foot to the New York store and one of the managers told me that sales 
are in fact nearly four times!!
While I waited for the data transfer the line up for I phones (limit 5 to a 
customer) over two levels never diminished. There was a lot of mandarin 
spoken in the line up. And it wasn't even for the latest model. The staff 
had no explanation for the surge and just kept hauling the phones out from 
the back. It was like a night market in the daytime and the ultimate tribute 
to Steve Jobs. He made such desirable things that sell so well.
