Apple's glass elevator in their NYC "flagship" store locked in a group of customers the other day. The NYPD eventually had to free them.

I ask those that are reading this to file a bug report via Apple's Bug Reporter so that they are aware of the problem. ;-)

Problem: The elevator in the New York City Apple Store refuses to open its doors.

Additional Symptoms: Customers trapped inside.

Solution: Restart the copy of Windows XP on the computer that controls the elevator.

Workaround: Smash glass doors. Talk trash about Microsoft software.

Looks like a Kone elevator
Judging by what people said sounds like a door lock fault.. hardly worth calling the LAPD for, why didnt they just call the elevator service, chances are it ewas still under free maintanance

I doubt the elevator could run winblows XP.. most elevator controlers are based on the Zilog Z80 CPU, you know then one from ZX spectrums :P

The NYPD probably responded faster to something that, if left too long, could have made an even bigger Public Relations problem. :-/

I had no idea that elevators only ran Z80s, though. Wow.

I think the least they could have done was to give the people trapped inside something small in exchange for the hardship they had to go through trapped in a confined space like that.

Oh they did give them something. A contract that says "Speak nigh of this event, lest we send a cataclysm of lawyers descending upon your village to sue the pants off every man, woman, and child in your household. You escape with your lives, be grateful for that. Now begone, foul humans."

"Hey Steve! We got a great deal on some used elevators. They came out of an old hotel in Philly, the Atlas Park, or something like that."

This is a great time for the music from the laser show at FC2003... "... Don't use the....Elevators."

This is why I am glad my building has LINUX elevators. ;)
