I just had something rather disturbing happen on my iMac. I have added
some new memory and when I turned it back on there was a peculiar

Anyone have any idea of the progress of the Apple Store due to open in
the new Cabot Circus development?
Is there any chance whatsoever that I will be able to wander in there by

Msn Messenger on my Macbook at the moment?
