Go Amish!
Oh, they go alright. Just very, very slowly.
not snappy.
There are also a lot of Mennonites in that area.
I know a Mennonite who was carrying a laptop in the mid-90s, long before they became common.
So they’re not as slow as you might think.

How about that horse buggy integration kit for iPods? Of course, no colours for the iPod nano, only two choices: light black or deep black.
Not an easy region for Apple. Since the Amish are not allowed to use high tech, the church elders only allow Windows on DELL hardware. They figure, it’s so backwards, it’s compatible with their rules.
Apple is just trying to torture me now.
Princeton. You know, that little patch technically located in New Jersey that is populated with rich people who would not hesitate to spend money on beautifully made working technical products? Unfortunately, I am not one of them, but I do spend an inordinate portion of my salary on Apple products.

More so than Technology, the Amish shun new world business practices. So Dell and Windows with their monopolistic takeovers are probably NOT what they’re looking for in the towns of Bird-in-Hand and Intercourse.
I live here in Lancaster, and work at a BIG office that does a lot of advertising. We have lots artists who all use Macs and lots are die hard Mac heads. The mall gets lots of traffic so this will be a good place to supply us, and make inroads to new users.
BTW Amish sometimes now use electricity, but not on the grid- they are big buyers of solar panels so they can be self sufficient.
“So they’re not as slow as you might think.”
Of course! Haven’t you tried their Speed Stick?
“By Mennon.”
Lancaster is no longer the quaint, tourist attraction it once was. The area has become a hotbed for those hoping to escape the high cost of living of surrounding major metropolitan areas. As such, the demand for retail stores has skyrocketed to the point that an Apple Store will certainly get a lot of traffic – not only from Lancaster, but also Harrisburg (the oft-forgotten state capital).
Although it will be about 30 minutes away, this will be a huge improvement over having to drive to King of Prussia or down into MD. Can’t wait!
They are having a horse and buggy drawing with butter churners as consolation prizes.
@bluegirl,
Any relation to the little blue boy in “Deliverance”?
And, Marlton.
IIRC, there is no sales tax in Lancaster. I can’t say if this applies to electronics _or_ even if it’s still in effect but I surely liked that little Amish gift back the day.
Yes, there is sales tax in Lancaster. There are exceptions for clothing and groceries, but that is nothing specific to Lancaster.
At last the Apple store is open in Belfast. Check out images on blog Left over GREY MATTER at http://derekhall.eo-creative.com.
