And did you get a laptop?
Were you first in line?
Did you have to knock over a little old lady to get that last one? LOL!
I grew up near there, BTW. Highland Springs/Sandston area. Once upon a time it was a the best place to be a kid-especially out in the country near the swamp.
Heh...my wife got out there just before 7:00 am and the line was already thousands of people long, traffic backed up three miles on Laburnum just to get to the Fairgrounds. She left, and never saw the melee break out at the front of the line.
Katrina really puts things in perspective. We had a couple thousand of Henrico County's trashier component (of all races) stampede little old ladies and run over children to get $50 laptops...and now a half-million people in the Gulf have noplace to live, no food, no water. I wish I could say those people up here felt ashamed for what they did, but somehow you and I both know they don't. They got their crapped-out iBook, and that's all that mattered. And no doubt some of them are complaining to the county that the iBook isn't the latest model and the batteries are shot and there's a crack in the LCD and the keys are sticky...
