For the past couple of days, I've mentioned the "demographics" of the Apple computer and the Apple computer user as I've crossed this great country, from Harvard Square (Boston/Cambridge) to San Antonio, to San Pedro (Los Angeles).
Up until today, no one was using a computer in the San Pedro Starbucks on Western and Westmont Drive where I have been coming for the past week or so. Now, today, everyone in here using a computer is using an Apple. There are four of us: two MacBook Airs, one aluminum MacBook Pro (?), and I'm using my very old trusty white MacBook that has the best wi-fi receiver in the world. I say that because my old MacBook wi-fi receiver will pick up signals that my iPad won't pick up. It's pretty incredible.
Another bit of trivia: last night, we went down to the Starbucks overlooking the Pacific Ocean, Ranchos Palos Verdes. Beautiful evening. But this surprised me. The patio closes at 8:30 p.m. and the coffee shop closes at 9:00 p.m. Wow, that's early. Most of us are just getting started.
