Mac-A-Doodle would like to greet the online Apple Store a Happy 10th Birthday this month. It opened November 1997, and was selling Mac OS 8, G3 Macs, Newtons and eMates. It was followed by the UK store five months later, then in rapid succession Sweden, Belgium, Holland, Spain, and Italy. In 1999 the Japanese, Austrian and Swiss stores came out, and the rest is history.

Aside from spectacular worldwide sales, it holds the distinction of being the only online store that creates instant, planet-wide speculative frenzy whenever it goes offline.

Thanks for the purchases!
