Apple Store = FREE SHIRT!
When I found out that Maine would be getting its first ever Apple Store at the Maine Mall in Portland, I knew I couldn’t miss the opportunity to get a free shirt. I mean, really. A free shirt.
I was actually surprised by how many other people had the same idea. There was literally a line of people wrapping around a whole wing of the mall. It was the longest line I have seen since waiting for hours in the Macworld 2008 keynote line.
Prior to opening the doors, there were employees in various colored shirts running around and getting the crowd excited (for a shirt?), while others took official pictures and video of the event.
Once inside, I headed right to the Genius Bar, and I was unofficially the very first Genius Bar customer. After all, the only legitimate reason for going to the store was to have my MacBook Pro’s screen problem diagnosed. They told me it was a likely a pinched cable, which they estimated as a $300 repair (out of warranty).
I recently ordered the cable itself for $30. For $270, I’ll do it myself.
