It depends when the store closes...

I just looked. It closes at 2100. Plenty of time...

I just worry about you chaps having to hang out in the Apple Store for

What a sensitive and caring soul you are...

Me, I'd like a new (smallest size) iMac. But I am protected from my

Thank Gahd.

Now, I shall have to line up the Merkato.

How about 1930ish? Or should it be later (or earlier)?
