Say Farewell to New York's Original Apple Store

8. Yep. I worked there for many years...

It was a great place to work, and I made a number of life-long friends there.
The museum pieces are all for sale now.
Although I'm free today, I can't bring myself to go the auction, which is happening at this very moment.
But it's OK, because I've got a small Mac museum of my own.
And working there let me afford to collect a museum's worth of other, non-computer items.
Mostly musical instruments.

It's sad to see it go, but that's the nature of Capitalism.
They couldn't compete with internet pricing and free shipping, the Mothership stealing their ideas (Genius Bar), and NYC rents.
