Happy Birthday Apple Store!

I'm sure everyone's busy and going about your daily activities, but on this day, 9 years ago, Apple opened the first Apple retail store in Tyson's Corner, VA (In AOL's neighborhood).
Remember, this was months before the iPod was released and many people still had Mac OS 9 running on their multi-colored iMacs. Today, over 85 million iPhone OS devices, over 250 million iPods and tens of millions of new Macs, the Apple stores are both a local resource and tourist location for millions of people.
Thanks!

About The Team
My name is Lee Givens and I'm the Product Lead for the Mac products at AOL and you can find me on the Mac@AOL blog too. When I'm not at the office, I'm probably in line at the local Apple Store whenever a new iPhone is released (actually, when anything from Apple is released :) I've been at AOL since 2007 and lead product management for Mac and iPhone apps. During my spare time, I collect vintage Macs (and Apple IIs) and root for the Univ. of Maryland Terps. If you would like to follow me, I'm at @MacGivens.
Hi, I'm Christina Wick, Technical Director for the AOL Mac team. My team is responsible for the development and testing of all the desktop Mac applications as well as a bunch of iPhone apps including AIM, AOL Radio, SHOUTcast, touchTXT, and many more. I took over managing the Mac team a little over two years ago when AOL decided to "Get Back on the Mac." Since then, we have released numerous desktop products and iPhone apps. We look forward to bringing more exciting apps to the Mac community. I'm on Twitter, if you would like to follow me - @ChristinaWick.
