A friend sends this along in email.

I’m not getting one of those today. I’ll wait. But at lunchtime today, I went to two local malls and took these photos of the phenomenon. Need I mention that Woz himself was there? I snapped a few pics of him at the Valley Fair mall in San Jose.

For those of us who make a living trying to keep a network of Macintosh computers working smoothly, the Managing OS X blog looks like it might have some helpful information.
