Late Line for Leopard At Burlingame

Excitement over this evening’s release of Apple’s latest operating system upgrade isn’t obvious at the Burlingame (N. Calif.) store–there was no waiting line until 3:56 p.m., when several teens began the line. The line formed very slowly–there were just 38 persons in line by 5:30 p.m., but it then grew quickly to about 150 by 6 p.m. During the wait, Apple employees rolled carts of bottled water and coffee down the waiting line. Commemorative T-shirts were handed out in plastic bags instead of cardboard boxes. Photos of the Regent Street (London) Leopard event are posted on the setteb.it Web site. Check these photos by Felix of the Leopard event at the Bluewater (Kent, UK) store. Read about other locations on Macworld, and about one dissatisfied T-shirt wearer.
