Apple Store Fans Camp Out for 24 Hours

Posted by pudge on from the better-things-to-do dept.

Refresh often to check out his continuing adventures." I waited for a couple of hours to get into the Cambridge, MA Apple Store when it opened. That's one night I'll never get back.

    Don't they know they can shop online?

    Or they could just drive to another store quicker!

    Those crazy kids.

    I'm sure I'll get modded down as a troll for this, but my god!! I was wondering what could be more pathetic than someone hanging out waiting for a new computer store to open. Then, there it was: someone who would sit there clicking refresh in his browser in order to follow the "adventures" of the person hanging out waiting for the computer store to open....
