What a bunch of fscking savages. Somewhere near Richmond, Va. a local school was selling their old Apple iBooks for $50 a piece. The premise was simple, beginning at 7 a.m. today, you arrived, gave the school your $50 and they gave you a four-year old iBook.
It turned into a fiasco. People running, stampeding, biting, knocking others over; one man was even clocking people over the head with a folding chair. I’d hate to see what they’d act like if there was a shortage of food, water or fuel!
Something that makes this story a bit funny is that there was another article in the Richmond paper recently, by an intern who had used one of the iBooks when she was in high school, that pointed out that most of these four-year-old computers have seen a lot of rough use and probably aren’t much of a bargain, even at $50. And, by the way, I’m a big fan of PB&J on white with plain potato chips, too!
