Apple Store Victoria Square in Belfast celebrated their grand opening on Saturday September 20th.
BBC News reports, “Hundreds of people have queued outside the new Apple store in Belfast for its first day of opening, with some waiting all night to be the first through the doors.”
BBC News’ video, “Queues at Belfast Apple store opening,” here.
“The first hardy souls started the queue before 11pm last night. Matthew, Michael, Stuart, Wayne and Karl. Another few arrived after midnight (better prepared with camp seats!). And then it was early morning – 5am-ish – when the rest of the queue started to form,” Alan in Belfast reports.

No, we don’t.
But not everybody who adheres to superstitions is automatically an evil terrorist because of it.
These Mac forums are never dull
@ Ping,
Thank you for you .02. Also, thank you for proving that one’s ability to read does not always render understanding.
Where did I say in any statement that if a person is religious that they are a terrorist?

you didn’t. I was commenting on the course of the debate in general and on the incorrect assumption that everybody was religious.
Ping: I believe in – among other things – science. Scientists are not always right, nor is it always “right”, but I believe their method will lead to truth. Even if that truth destroys us.
We all need to believe in something. That something need not be as nebulous as most religious belief, nor need it be amenable to being developed into a destructive force. It may be as simple, and as provably false, as my belief in my abilities as a speaker.
See G.L.Horton’s Stage Page Podcast and judge for yourself – it will NOT effect my own belief in my skills as speaker or as sound editor.
Sorry … needed a case-in-point.
Is there nothing you believe in that another might take exception to? Perhaps that the Mac is far and away a better PC than either a Windows box or a Linux box?
> We all need something to believe in
I believe in Apple and Steve Jobs. That’s all the religion I need

I don’t believe in science, I simply see it as the best tool to find out about most aspects of the world.
That’s an entirely different thing. And not one for this site, really…

Another great example of how far Ulster has come in recent times. I was up in Ballymena over the weekend and it’s changed so much since my last visit it was like a new town.
I mean, they’ve even removed all the Union flags and red, white and blue painted kerbstones leading up to Harryville Chapel (although I never quite got why they decided to build a Catholic Church in one of the most Proddy areas of the province in the first place). Surely that counts as progress alone, but together with the obvious economic growth and regeneration going on it’s pretty spectacular. Nearly as amazing as seeing how my native Manchester has changed in the past decade and a half.
