I was just wondering if the Apple Stores are going to have T-shirts,
hats, iMacquariums and stuff like the company store in California or
just computers and software, I haven't heard of anythig else though?

More likely Bombay Sapphire martinis in acrylic ice and titanium glasses.

I suppose they could have that too if they want. I just saw the tour Jobs
did and it look kinda empty. I thought the cameras and PDAs were a good
addition but what about other hardware like scanners, printers, floppy
drives, joysticks, and gamepads.

I wish they'd concentrate on items not normally carried by all the
other computer superstores. I can get PDAs and cameras nearly
anywhere, since they're not system-specific. I can't get stuff like
Mac-targeted input devices, Mac a/v peripherals, etc. at most of those
stores, because they're Mac-specific, and thus not profitable enough
to stock. _That's_ one of the big benefits of Mac-specific dealers,
and I'm just not getting the impression the new stores are going to
fill that need.

I was at the Glendale opening. They have scanners, printers, input
devices, and storage media.
