The missing area north of Miami on the east coast of Florida is where my Apple Specialist is located. We do cater to a smaller population, but we do it well, and without the horrible crowds. - The Apple Stores are not the end all be all of buying an Mac. These "dead zones" are exactly where us Specialists excel. Please remember that before the Corporate Apple Stores existed, we were your one stop for all Mac stuff, we are still around and many of us are thriving!

Thanks Jennielf for reminding all of us about that!

I'd like to see Apple Stores in Columbia, SC; Greenville, SC; Baldwin County. AL (serving Mobile and Pensacola); Little Rock, AR; and Shreveport, LA.

Apple stores used to be wonderful. You could talk with highly knowledgeable enthusiastic people. Procare allow for both one on one tutorials and priority hardware service. Now I wouldn't go out of my way to visit an Apple store. They are too crowded and lack of knowledgeable people unless you see a genius but that now requires appointments days in advance. Apple specialist much better but then again it is hit or miss when seeking expert advice given the more limited resources.

Northeastern Wisconsin (Oshkosh - Appleton - Green Bay) has over 700,000 people, and our nearest Apple Stores are about two hours away in Madison and Milwaukee. We could use one at the Fox River Mall. It would also serve people in Michigan's Upper Peninsula.

There are people in Michigan's upper peninsula? Why? (j/k!)
