Mac Cafe

I went to a cafe in The City where everyone had a laptop and, because this is SF, every laptop was an Apple– except one poor girl had a PC, so she covered up the logo with a sticker–and all but one of the Macbooks was the aluminium variety.

I am not exaggerating.

It was weird, like some kind of office or Uni common room - groups sitting around largeish tables, in front of open laptops, discussing important things.

The magazine rack was empty but for the remains of a daily paper. No need to fill it of course. Who needs hard copy when it's all online?

As I had arrived there unplanned, I did not have my aluminium apple macbook with me at the time. So I just read that newspaper. What a loser.

I did have a small win though. The girls behind the counter, after initial confusion around my order, really agreed that 'Iced Chocolate' was a much better name for the drink than 'Chocolate Milk'. And this in the country that invented the term 'Iced Tea.' Go figure.
