The second MacStore in the UAE (the first one here) was opened on Thursday. I dropped by (along with several other Mac enthusiasts - yes we apparently have them here too!). On returning home (and finding that I was an hour late for a Style Contest conference - damn timezones, DST! - I shocked the others by putting "bored" and "MacStore" into the same sentence (I have a feeling Elise and Jay would have cried sacrilege if we weren't running out of time).
I thus present my argument (courtesy of Magnus at EmiratesMac):
Oh and before you jump to any conclusions based on the crowds in the store, the pictures were taken before the Mall opened :) I went down around dinner time but I hear that there was quite a crowd in the morning - which is quite good considering the ISP refuses to acknowledge the existance of a Mac:
Me: Yes my DSL suddenly stopped working whilst i was video conferencing
Them: Yes can you type this command into command prompt and tell us how many connections you see
Me: Maybe 10-ish
Them: Oh sir that means you have a virus or spyware on your computer [Launches into a long lecture on viruses and spyware and how to prevent them]
Me: I'm on a Mac, we don't really have viruses or spyware
Them: No sir, all PCs have viruses its a problem with Microsoft Windows....
