"So many toys...so little
timemoney."
I went by the Apple Store this morning, soon after it opened. I needed a USB mic since I'm not sure when the sound system at church will be repaired. While there, I ran into a lady (in her early 60's, I'd guess) that I knew from our Mac User Group. Asking her what she was there for and expecting her to say something about a visit to the Genius Bar (or whatever they call it now), I was slightly surprised to hear her say she was there to buy an iPad! I asked her why she didn't wait till Christmas or even early next year since Apple is bound to lower prices or add features? "Oh, I thought about that, but I simply can't wait!"
She knew she was drunk with the "kool-aid" but she didn't care! I guess that's why they give that kool-aid away?
With some major bills approaching (especially if that mixer has to be replaced by moi), I just bought the over-priced Blue Snowball and left the very crowded store behind. I wouldn't even stay long enough to touch one of the dangerous sirens from Cupertino! Even tried to avoid saying the name or looking at the dozens of drooling purveyors!
