Apple spending like drunken sailor
Apple plans to increase capital spending this year by $280 million dollars. The new campus that they are building certainly is a large factor in the increase, but they are also going to be spending a chunk of change on retail (hey, when are you opening a Philadelphia store, Apple?) as well as replacing equipment and what have you.Apple previously estimated that it would spend $420 million on capital this year, but now thinks $700 million should fit the bill.

Too bad they suck so bad. It used to be an OK store, but their shelves always seem pretty bare. I could tell more storeies, but just take this advice.
If you want Mac stuff around this area of PA, just make a day of it and keep on driving down to King of Prussia or Wilmington.
Or Brian, you could just ramble on over to KClinger's have some good brews and have your gear overnighted!
:o)

Actually i am an avid KClinger's fan. I actually used to commute to King of Prussia and frequented the Apple Store there. It is what pushed me to be a "switcher". maybe a Mac meetup group at KClingers?...

Harrisburg does need an Apple Store! There is a serious lack of Apple stuff out here. (I live in Etters near harrisburg and York). Does anybody know if it is a franchised thing?
There is a place in lancaster called Macheads.. www.macheads.com.

Well I guess that I shouldn't complain since I have 4 apple stores within 30 minutes of my house.

PLEASE Apple, PLEASE!!!
The KOP store counts as a "philly store," I guess. And don't be surprised if Apple opens one up in the new huge-ass Center Valley mall coming to the Lehigh Valley. So all us PA-ers will have somewhere to shop.
...except for all those weird people who live west of Harrisburg.
They should put one down town, and they should put one in Bucks County somewhere like New Hope, or Doylestown.

But if King of Prussia (or Marlton in Jersey, or Wilmington in Delaware) is too far away, word is there's going to be one in Suburban Square in Ardmore.

Puh-leeeeeese, Scott. At least you guys have the King of Prussia store.
I can't believe there isn't one planned somewhere within the Harrisburg/York/Lancaster/Hershey quadrangle. Considering the college campuses, print shops, and ad agencies concentrated in the region, plus considering the fact that the area definitely isn't economically depressed, I think it'd be a good fit.
