Apple Store 5th Ave. treats 1 millionth visitor
Her new name is "Mrs. Right Place, Right Time." When shopper Elizabeth Rodriguez walked into New York's flagship Apple Store this past Saturday, she was showered with a MacBook, iPod, iPod Hi-Fi, and an Apple ProCare membership, all for being visitor # 1,000,000. The amazing thing is that the store reached a million visitors in only four months of operation (Fifth Avenue's average number of daily visitors is seven times that of other stores).Congratulations Apple and Elizabeth. Enjoy your great new stuff.

lucky b*tch boo! his!s I bet she doesn't truly appreciate what she has been handed on a plate, things that some people may get heavily into debt for. Now If you will excuse me i'm going to go walking around telling children to turn down that racket.

I bet she was just walking in their to inquire about buying a new ipod or something. As for chicks loving macs... im sure that is just the look of them and that they dont actually use them. Everyone knows computers are a mans domain don't get me wrong im sure there alot of female mac users out there who know their way around terminal etc but statistically she was probably just another mainstream gal...oh wait I see she has a camera on her maybe she does use a mac after all....

Wow this is what I was afraid of.... i'm not sexist are you trying to tell me that computer users are 50% men and 50% women? Exactly. I was just saying that statistically she probably wasn't interested in the macs, but I saw the camera on her so I came to the conclusion she used a mac.

I'd hate to be the guy who let her cut in front of him in line.
