    At least the Japanese like Macs! ;)

    Wow... That is the longest line I've ever seen! Even if you hate Macs, this is an incredible sight (at least for this impatient American!)

    It took longer to get through that line than for two characters on DragonBall Z to finish fighting!

    my question is what is the last person in line thinking. My thoughts are...

    1.) "ooh! A line, a line! Must be something really really super duper cool for a line this long, I gotta stand in it before someone else does!"

    2.) He is a flesh eating zombie and he's starting from the back so he can eat them all.

    3.) "I knew I should have gotten up at 4am. Stupid mom saying I'd be here on time"

    4.) he is the most retarted person on the face of the earth and he thinks "Can't wait till I get in"

    I mean seriously its going to be years before he gets in! Why even bother standing in line, why not just walk past the place cause thats the closest he's going to get for a long time!

    This kind of thing makes Microsoft jealous. Even with the release of win95 they couldn't hope to get that many lemmings, I mean people standing in a line just to buy another overpriced piece of trash.

    No offense, but dont the Japanese pretty much line up for anything???

    Was the store only open for one day or summink??

    Still, Macs are cool, I just wish they were more like pc's!

    Yeah, I've heard that's pretty true, actually. Like, "Waiting in line is a way of life in Japan." It was the opening day of the first Apple Store in Japan, and by the looks of it, the store was way bigger than any U.S. store. Pretty big deal I guess.
