All products link to their actual counterparts on the Apple Web Store and the Virtual Store made use of the full capacity of Linden Lab's most powerful region server.

Video Featuring the Second Life Apple Store

This video features the In-World Fifth Avenue Apple Store which was build by a group of committed Apple "fanatics" who also happened to represent the best Second Life builders, texture designers, scripters and project leaders from around the world. An international team worked around the clock to deliver this project in time for AxisVR to present it to the Silicon Valley Macintosh User's group on Apple's Main Campus (the Mothership) in Cupoertino, CA.
