Motohiko,
Nice site. I've been back logged lately but I finally got around to adding
it to woz.org:

Since you are a Mac person, I thought I'd share this little thought with
you. I don't know if you have seen what Apple has recently done to their
stores but it's terrible. I went to the Palo Alto, CA store yesterday and I
saw they got rid of almost all the software they had. They now only sell
the
Apple software products and a few other titles from Adobe, Microsoft
and
Intuit as well as a handful of games. All the software is now shoved to a
tiny corner of the store in a bookcase. I think the lack of software
choices
makes the Mac platform look very weak. One of the original premises
of the
Apple Retail Stores was to showcase solutions for the Mac that other
retailers would not display. But now Fry's Electronics probably
carries
more Mac titles than the Apple Stores, which is a sad thing to say since
Fry's selection is pathetic. It's as if Apple just did to itself what it has
complained computer stores have been doing to it for ages. I would never
have believed it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes. Now there is truly
no
place you can go to get Apple software except to "PC-centric" stores that
might carry a title here and there if you are lucky.
What did they use to fill the empty space in the store? iPod cases that
you
can pretty much get anywhere.
Feel free to post this comment anywhere people will read it.
