It seems that these days, almost everyone is aspiring for an Apple product. Don’t get me wrong, Apple makes a great product that is definitely worth considering. However, I’m not very enthusiastic when some folks decide to use Apple products in questionable ways. Recently, I came across a site that talked about how an aspiring model visited an Apple store frequently and exclusively used it to write her memoir. I think I smell a person trying to get a free Mac out of this.

It is interesting to learn that an individual was able to visit an Apple store daily and write her memoir. I am surprised to learn that the employees at the SoHo Apple Store in New York did not deter her after some time knowing that she was just using their products but was not an actual customer. I have never been to this specific Apple Store, so I cannot comment on how many machines there were, but I would imagine that if a “customer” walked in daily for several months but never bought anything, they would be considered suspicious. Look at it this way, she used a machine that another customer could have looked at, but since she was on the machine, it can be argued that potential sales were lost.

My main disagreement with Isobella (the subject of this post) is the fact that she is willing to promote Apple products primarily because she used an Apple product to write her memoir. She even goes ahead and suggests that she grew up with an Apple II, a very old Apple machine. However, what she does not even bother to say or hint is HOW an Apple product influenced her to write her memoir. In a way, I think she is just trying to convince Apple to give her a free Apple computer and possibly a modeling gig. I’m not going to say whether they should or not, but what Isobella should do is focus more on securing a steady cash flow so that she does not have to visit an Apple store write her memoir but rather, visit an Apple store to purchase an Apple computer.
