Well, maybe I'm just lucky, but I'm about four miles from ComputerWare,
which is an all mac store in palo alto (they also do mail order, and happen
to be a great store -- and a discount store on top of it!). The only time
I've ever needed to go to mail order was for my memory upgrade, because they
no longer stock memory upgrades for anything less than a MacPlus.

It seems hard to believe that there isn't a good Apple store down in the
Orange County area...
