People Love Macs: They'll Stampede for 4 Year Old Mac Laptops
 

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

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.

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

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

did a fucking bomb go off in iraq or did i miss the 5 o clock $50 laptops giveaway? :1orglaugh

and why did someone open the doors to that mobb knowing they had only 1000 cpus for sale? wouldnt a normal person get on a bullhorn and say "FUCK OFF"!! :1orglaugh

An effective advertising stunt. :thumbsup

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

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

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.

:thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup

I never had to switch, I am a hardcore Maccer since my first LC4 in 92 :)

4 Mb of ram / 40Mb Hardridve,, Wowowooo :) It ws runing at 16Mhz I think... Costed something like 2000 $

YEs I think we're special :winkwink:
