so, when the first Apple stores opened did they have to have celebrities and giveaways on hand to get 'hundreds' of people to wait in line?
I was at the Glendale Galleria when the Apple store opened (I think it was the first retail one) and it definitely was an event! Crowded, line to get in, local government people. I wouldn't say that it was a celebrity magnet (it was 2001) and if I recall the ipod hadn't been released yet or was very new.
