Yeah, after he put the stand aside he curled up on the grate to warm up.

This would go in the Mac forum or local news, but:
http://m.cultofmac.com/confirmed-apple-to-open-biggest-store-yet-in-grand-central-terminal/82433
Apple is going to open biggest store ever in GCT. Wonder where... Said they would break down walls, a little sad to do that.

Lets see now. I'm on messaging this on my hardy little Mac G4 TiBook I bought way back in 2001 right now, but it's really showing it's age, speed wise. Replaced the HD a while back to double it's size from 30Gb to 60Gb and used the 30Gb as an external backup drive. The disk drive replaced under warranty from a read only CD/DVD to a combo drive for free.
I've got a MDD 1GHz FW800 and a MDD dual 1.4 FW800 GHz G4 desktops that I use daily for my multimedia/Web designs and animation maxed out with added HD's, superdrives and memory. These were the last of the G4's, and my Personal favorites that are still going strong.
An old G3 with an upgraded ZIF processor 800MHz G4. 2001
Performa 6400/200 features a 200 MHz PowerPC 603e processor with a built in sub-woofer, upgradfed to a G3 300MHz. 1996
A Quadra 840AV with a blistering 40MHz.1992
Mac LC upgraded to LCII 16MHz 1990
Mac SE 40 1984
And they all still work. I'm way past getting something new. Skipped getting a Mac G5 because of the liquid cooling and the problems they had with leaking.
I'll be getting a new Macbook Pro this Spring some times and possibly a new desktop as well by the Fall.

My first MBook, purchased in May, '07, still humming along. I'm getting itchy for a MBPro; maybe a year or so away. We replaced my wife's PC desktop last month with a new Samsung laptop.
