Either they love them or all of us Mac users are a little disturbed. In my case, the latter is probably true:

macs and people who use macs are crazy

pornguy · 08-17-2005, 10:08 AM

They were idiots for making it a public thing like that. Sell to employees, and family of employees only!

Macs are the best computers I've ever owned. I just switched last summer. What was crazy was waiting so long to try them.

County officials said they would review events and see what could be done differently for future sales.

Ummm... charge more than $50. I should be a government consultant.

Seriously what % of these do you think will end up on eBay? I'm guessing quite a bit.

LOL nothing to do with Macs, these people had never heard of Macs before did you see the pics of the place?

They wanted to give the poor people of the county access to cheap computers for their kids, etc.

But it was a dumbass move to sell them for $50

An effective advertising stunt.

I wouldn't want a 4 year old used laptop if you gave it to me for free. The last thing I would do is line up for hours, fight with people, and piss my pants just to be able to pay $50 for one.

Because you have a computer I bet most of those people have never owned a computer

Jace · 08-17-2005, 07:46 PM

wtf...why the fuck wouldn't they take the tax break and hand them out to poor and less fortunate families? that is fucked up

PixeLs · 08-17-2005, 07:48 PM

I hope those laptops will be worth enough their bruises and broken bones.

You and I wouldn't, but there are plenty of people who would.

I have a 6 year old laptop, 600 mhz... it's just sitting here. I should probably reformat it and give it to somebody less fortunate.
