Last night I walked past the rumored Apple Store on Regent’s Street. Two large apples on a black background announce: "Grand Opening, November 20, 2004."

I have been trying desperately to get a new Apple since the burglary and have had pitiful service from Apple retailers in London (Cancom on High Street Kinsington is a joke of company). I am very glad to see the Apple store opening and hope that all my previous Apple woes will be solved in short order (and that posting will resume by the end of this month).
