iBook Riot of 2005

That's right... I live in the city that made national news because the fucking dregs of humanity came out in force to get a $50.00 iBook laptop. 4 years old and previously owned by High School students!

I have lost a large amount of my faith in humanity. I am ashamed to admit that I am a resident of the county of Henrico...

I hope this guy just said what I think he did. If so, he gets cool points in my book.

And yes, this is sad.

Jezus. As if it wasn't bad enough...they are getting MACs...these aren't even REAL computers!

Some bought them for $50.00 and are currently selling them on Ebay for almost 400.00...


Not even 24 hours have passed since its end... and we already have kick ass t-shirts!

I read about this too.

I wouldn't riot for an iBook.

I'd riot for a GeForce 7800, or one of those Alienware PCs, but not an iBook.
