I've visited Apple stores in the US and Japan many times. They are centrally located, (until recently) had no restriction on Internet which is great when travelling, and run hundreds of free classes. One never feels pressured to actually, god forbid, buy anything there. And they are always full of people. (BTW full issues of inCite are online as a one-file PDF, but for members only) I smiled when I saw that article about libraries and Apple store, because I’ve often thought the same thing.
