Apple's Fukubukuro
Tomorrow morning, the first few hundred people through the door at Apple's new Union Square store in San Francisco will have a chance to buy a $250 "lucky bag" (fukubukuro in Japanese) which may or may not contain a new mini iPod. Meanwhile, the lucky bags contain seven or eight items worth a total of $600-$1,000. Wired News
I only wish I was in San Francisco for that one. Better yet, I want Steve Jobs to send me a lucky bag. In fact, I think all dedicated Apple users should get one, just because we're all so damn devoted. (Oz, too bad your conference isn't until June. That would have been one sweet score!)

What a cool deal! Hell it would be worth it to spend $250 if you were guaranteed $600 - $1000 worth of merchandise even if it is a surprise.

I wrote my first computer program on an Apple.
Apple IIe
In eighth grade.
I'm not going to count how many years ago that was.

Me too (wrote my first program on an Apple II). At uni we wrote machine code to take over the internal bus so that we could dump data from external lab equipment into the memory of an Apple IIe.
I really think they could have waited until WWDC to open the store ....
