Mongo. Thanks for the giggles.

For what it's worth, I fired the first shot!

I sent this email to the investor reations department at Apple:

"I am an Apple shareholder, consumer of your products and fan of and frequent visitor to Madrid, Spain.

As such, I urge you as a company to do all you can to help restore the historic "Tio Pepe" neon sign to it's traditional place above the Puerta del Sol in Madrid."

Who's with me?!?!?

Matt

Mongo you have 4000 ahead of you, but great idea; its all over twitter and facebook too

its worth the fight.

Ok, I just joined the FB group to save the sign!!!

Viva Tio Pepe!!

I also joined the FB group. There has to be power in numbers!

of course me too

Damn, I was just there last weekend with some family who were visitng and they asked me about that. I felt for sure they would put it back...sort of like the old Osborne Bull...but I guess not.

What a shame!

Apple are pretty ruthless. They do things their way and that's that.

I don't know. Maybe if enough fuss is kicked up it can change the mind of anyone, but with Apple an extra force is needed. All businesses think about is the bottom line, so maybe that's the place to hit?

I don't live in Madrid though? What has happened to this sign, it was practically a landmark
