People have often joked that Apple enthusiasts (particularly Mac users) sound like cultists as they spin tales of the wonderfullness of Mac and Apple. The email I received today makes me think these jokes were not too far off:
Your kids could talk about what they did this summer--or just press Play. At Apple Camp, kids ages 8-12 learn how to do cool stuff on a Mac: make a movie, show off photos like a pro, write and record a song, or create a multimedia presentation. You can sign up for as many three-hour workshops as you like. But space is limited, so do it soon. Then get ready for an adventure.
Hats off to Apple for trying to get at the next generation of users/customers as early as possible. But I have to wonder, given the "cool" factor of Apple products these days, why does Cupertino believe it has to make this kind of pre-emptive move?
