Hi Guys,

Just thought I'd post to say that the USA is actually quite nice; I'm near Boston at the moment, working in a summer camp. I don't have very much time on the internet - I'm in a library at the moment on my day off. However, I noticed the usual anti-US subjects on the board when I logged on, and thought that I would put forwards the opposite point of view. I've found everyone to be friendly and all of the portions to be large when they say large.

Hope you guys have a good summer - I'm loving it out here. I'm working until the end of August, then I have a month of travel around the USA!

I'll try and check the boards over the coming weeks. BTW, is there an Apple Store in Boston?? I would really like to see one, as we don't have them (YET

) in the UK.

Bye for now,

Will

There is a store in Cambridge at the Cambridgeside Galleria and there is one in Peabody too.

Go <a href="http://www.apple.com/retail/" target="_blank">here for Apple retail locations</a>.

Never been to the US, but the Americans I've met were all quite nice.

Hey! Another thing which is nice is being in the same time zone as everyone else, meaning I don't have to check back hours later for a reply!

I'll check out one of those stores, thanks. Uh-oh, almost used up my hour's worth of internet time, and my mac.com email isn't working! Doh!

Hey voodoo, have you ever heard of the Norsk Hostfest in Minot, North Dakota up in the states?

voodoo · Jul 10, 2002, 04:01 PM

Nope. Sounds Norwegian! Hmmm. There were many Scando immigrants in that area I think. Norsk Hostfest... Norwegian Autumnfestival.
