Digital Home Thoughts: iBook Sellout Leads to Stampede

First a little background; A few years ago Apple struck a huge deal with the Henrico County Virginia school district to provide iBooks to all Middle-school students. The district decided to sell off 1,500 of these aging iBooks at a bargain basement price of just $50 per unit, available only to local taxpayers. The people you see in the photo were anxiously (perhaps too) waiting in line to buy iBooks as soon at the gates opened. And open they did...with the a loud crash followed by the moans of trampled victims. The line was said to be more than a half mile long! 8O

By the way...is that Dale Coffing in the foreground? :wink:
