So why did Apple get rid of their online store?

rgC,

Go to apple.com and scroll all the way to the bottom of the page. You'll find a link that gets you to the refurb store.

Thanks, I thought that was where it was, but I didn't see it when I looked.

What, just because it's in small grey type buried in a list, besides being all the way at the bottom of the page?

“But the plans were on display…”

“On display? I eventually had to go down to the cellar to find them.”

“That’s the display department.”

“With a flashlight.”

“Ah, well, the lights had probably gone.”

“So had the stairs.”

“But look, you found the notice, didn’t you?”

“Yes,” said Arthur, “yes I did. It was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying ‘Beware of the Leopard.”

I did a search in page to find the link. Who has time to scroll? All the way to the bottom even?

Silvarios,

I use the "end" key on my keyboard.

In Apple's case, "Beware of the Snow Leopard."

I love that quote. I think I'll kick back and ponder it over a couple of Pangalactic Gargle Blasters.

Someone has his head up his whatsis. To find the Store you have to go to the bottom of the long, long page to the tiny grey type where the Site Index usually hangs out. That ought to do a lot for sales!

But hey, it's Apple. They don't have to really sell anything any more. Just have some guy in a black turtleneck announce it, and the masses will clamor for it.

PS KJ: What's a Pangalactic Gargle Blaster?

Wow, just one and I'm outta this world!

The Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster is an alcoholic beverage invented by ex-President of the Universe Zaphod Beeblebrox, considered by the Guide to be the "Best Drink in Existence"[1]. Its effects are similar to "having your brains smashed in by a slice of lemon wrapped round a large gold brick".

Mixing InstructionsEdit

Take the juice from one bottle of Ol' Janx Spirit.
Pour into it one measure of water from the seas of Santraginus V — Oh, that Santraginean seawater! Oh, those Santraginean fish!
Allow three cubes of Arcturan Mega-gin to melt into the mixture (it must be properly iced or the benzene is lost).
Allow four litres of Fallian marsh gas to bubble through it, in memory of all those happy hikers who have died of pleasure in the Marshes of Fallia.
Over the back of a silver spoon float a measure of Qualactin Hypermint extract, redolent of all the heady odours of the dark Qualactin Zones, subtle, sweet and mystic.
Drop in the tooth of an Algolian Suntiger. Watch it dissolve, spreading the fires of the Algolian Suns deep into the heart of the drink.
Sprinkle Zamphuor.
Add an olive.
Drink... but... very carefully...
