Apple Store Chicago
While waiting for our table at Due's, Sara and I walked over to the Apple store on Michigan avenue (we had a 50/50 chance of finding it -- I guess you can say that I got lucky). Sara tried to get me to buy an iPod mini, but I didn't crack (I am pretty close, though -- if new ones come out this month, that could seal my fate). I also almost bought some portable speakers that seemed pretty cool: The JBL "On Tour" Speaker System. These things looked pretty cool, and don't rely on an iPod dock connector, so they'll work with anything that has an audio output jack (like my PowerBook and MiniDisc player, for instance). Pretty tempting, especially since I'm going to Germany soon.
