by those special individuals who queued for days so they could own an iPad3 thirty seconds earlier than anyone else.

I for one am in awe of them and their undeniably worthwhile endeavour.

They are truly gifted people.

We should all strive to become like them.

Next time I will queue in front as early as possible then sell my queuing position to someone else ...

Or queue up and buy a unit and sell it for £100 more ... 😆

It's the kind of affinity most brands would give their eye-teeth for, though, isn't it.

My uncle used to do this, but with Morgans, not iPads.

I really don't understand why they are in such a hurry to buy one ... they must be important people.

If I was that desperate for an iPad, I'd have just mugged them on their exit of the shop.
Let's face it, the type of person who queues 3 days for an iPad isn't going to put up much of a fight, and even a wimp like me should be able to duff one of them up for one.

I would hardly call that an orderly queue of eager go-getters.

So, you must be jealous also.

I suppose if it's the one time of year you venture out of your bedroom and into the real world you may as well make it worth your while and turn it into an 'event'

It must get confusing for the poor dears though.

Once they get it back to their bedrooms and they're online and indulging in 'roughing up the prime suspect' - is it because of the dodgy subject matter displayed onscreen? Or is it because of the screen itself? (Just look at that resolution?!!!). Or maybe a bit of both?

Their heads may explode!

Why does it bother you that people spend thieir own time in the way that they want to? Are you a very controlling person?

I don't understand the clamour to get the latest iWhatever the moment it comes out.

That may be because the non apple versions of stuff I buy are usually best given a couple of months or so for the bugs to be ironed out before buying 🙂

Aye, people might queue up for new Apple products but we practically storm the walls of Microsoft HQ for new Service Packs :mrgreen:

Could be worse they could be spending money on 2 wheel objects and then riding those 2 wheel objects through mud wrecking them in the process.
