Yesterday, I went shopping at Walmart and it wasn't as fun as shopping at Target. They are both superstores, but Target is way better. Sure, Walmart has good prices, but I would rather go to Target; I like the atmosphere better. I could (and do) spend hours in there walking up and down the aisles. Conversely, when I go to Walmart, I want to get out as fast as possible.Target wasn't always what it is today though. It was a pretty regular megastore when I was kid, but it came back with a vengeance in the 90s. Same thing with Apple. My family had an Apple IIe when I was little. I remember my sister and I would play Frogger and a game called Word Wizard all the time. I'm not sure what happened to Apple from 1987-1999, but they came back with the same gusto and popularity as Target, making your standard PC look utterly normal.
I find it fascinating that you can have the same product or service, yet one can be much more popular than the other. I don't have an Apple/Mac at the moment, but I want one. And Walmart is a fine store, but Target is the best megastore out there. If there is one nearby, it is my store of choice.
I'm not really sure how Target and Apple made a comeback, but they did and they are two of my favorites.
