Do we need to see pictures?
Probably not.

It would look the same as those lined up for the $3000 last time.

Talk about a “door buster”.

We had a, ah, “similar” crowd riot over surplus four-year-old laptops in Richmond several years ago. One of the school systems was giving away several hundred old Apples, 3-4 years old, for free “as-is.” They had to move the giveaway to the Virginia State Fairgrounds, and when the gates were opened at around 7 am, there was a mad rush of over a thousand people, trampling children and elderly just to get a bunch of clapped-out old laptops that had already been abused by high-schoolers for three or four years.

The irony is, within a couple months, the majority of the laptops had turned up at various Apple dealers in metro Richmond, where the new owners were appalled at the cost of fixing the various problems they had due to age and heavy use, and almost none paid. They rioted over some fancy paperweights.

But they was FREE, man! FREE!
