Apple Computer To Charge Admission To The Apple Store?

According to some early grumblings and articles on the net, rumor has it that Apple will start to charge admission to their store. Of course, said "cover charge" will be refunded upon purchase of something in the store.

Apple does have some nifty products. But, to charge a cover fee just to enter a store and possibly give them more money? Can Apple help exemplify the Mac user stereotype any more? This is one of the most pretentious things I have seen in a while. It seems Apple is encouraging its users to continue to embrace the elitist attitude that is so often associated with them. I know plenty of Mac users and elitist is one of the last things I would consider them. Actually, I feel they may be quite insulted by this.

Anyway, I hope Apple doesn't implement this.

Thanks go out to Voodoo PC...

I'd like to say thank you to the crew at Voodoo PC. I bought an Envy notebook secondhand and had the warranty transferred to my name. I also had a few other questions about it as well.

The folks at Voodoo treated me with the same respect and dignity that they would have if I had been the one to originally lay down five large on the notebook.

Big ups to Voodoo PC!
