What really surprises me is that there were hotlines open for several hours
after the sale ended so that people could learn how to operate their macs
(this from the video feed of the VA station that ran the story). If you
don't know how to operate a mac - why would you wait in line, get trampled
on, get aggravated in order to get an old mac that you don't know how to
use?
