		<description><![CDATA[I would guess that they store it in the building that borders it to the right (if you&#039;re looking at the first picture). That would put the access somewhere in the middle of the building, possibly?  

That seems like a borrowed Disney trick, to make the stock room look like it is part of another building. It makes the main building seem more efficient and open. I&#039;ve never been there and I&#039;m judging solely on these pictures, but that&#039;s my best guess.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Most mail order sites charge sales tax in New York. Exceptions are newegg and AbesOfMaine, but their selection is incomplete. Anyway, one may want to buy at the store to get a chance to buy a One to One plan now that the rules have changed and to get the $100 rebate on a printer and if a student or teacher the free iPod touch. At least those are the current offers.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well, one reason to pay sales tax is to support your state&#039;s services; plus, some of those funds come back to support the country government, too, so you can help support libraries, police, fire departments, social services, etc.

Some states, such as NY, have wised up and are charging sales tax on out of state purchases  It makes sense and is only fair!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[well, keep in mind the main purpose of the stores is visibility &amp; touchibility of the products. most mac users are going to go online and order via 3rd party mail order, not buy from the apple store, or apple online store. there is no reason to pay sales tax which ups the price, plus it&#039;s full retail through apple, but mail order is quite a bit less. a good price matrix of all mac prices in real time is here:

the apple stores are &quot;showcases&quot;... but don&#039;t be tricked into buying something there.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yah you&#039;re right! and I know they stole a lot of other ideas too, such as the doors!!  Glass doors are here on the Best Buy stores in Chicago, and they sell PC&#039;s there, so go figure...  I think i&#039;ve seen the high ceilings too, in fact, I doubt there is really anything original about that Apple store!!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hey people, that store is &quot;packed&quot;.  Well, maybe not if you take away the Apple employees standing around.  At least the employees got jobs which is more than you can say for some other retail computer selling stores.  I sure hope a lot of those people bought some Apple products before they left.]]></description>
