Evangilizing my Tablet at the SoHo Apple Store...And I wasn't kicked out!

Peter and I spent the day in New York City, after attending the Geek Dinner last night. We spent the morning wandering around Times Square and visiting the Sanrio Store and Toys R Us. We then took the train down to Canal street, which in my opinion, we really could have skipped. It smells and has way to many people in the streets looking at knock-off designer bags. Can you say tacky? A Prada look-a-like bag, only problem is, the logo says "Pegasus". Tacky and smelly. We then finally made our way to Soho, where we visited Kid Robot, awesome store and then the Soho Apple store, which is in an old Post Office building. The air condition felt wonderful, given the heat and humidity outside. Peter and I made our way upstairs and found benches. We took advantage of the free wireless to download e-mail, etc... to our tablets, and spent about 30 minutes surfing the net. Every once and a while, someone who stop and stare at my tablet, and I had to go through my spiel about how great the tablet is, and how I was a Mac user too, but "switched" to the PC. Isn't inking awesome? After every person came up and walked away, Peter remarked that we were going to get thrown out. But we weren't. I'm not sure if it was because the sales people didn't know what my tablet was, or if it was that they didn't want to get into a discussion with us as to why we were using our PCs so obviously in their Mac store. Go tablets!
