In what I can only describe as unabashed geekery, V and I went to the Apple Store to partake in the OS X 10.4 release party. Extra bonus points because I’d already pre-orded and received 10.4 — we were just there for the experience.

The line was much longer than last time, and was strange in that, like Ourorboros, the line both started and ended at the entrance to the store; this decision caused much confusion , and I can’t recommend this style of queue as something worthy of Apple.
