1st in line... I'm such a dork

[richardmu]

Wish I was there with you. It is so exciting!

We haven't even got to the pre-order stage in the UK yet. I just feed on all
the excitement you guys are getting in the US.

Good luck and I hope you get the ones you want.

Roll on May 10 when we can get in on the act!

15 minutes. Easily 100+ people now. Everyone keeps asking how early I got here. I don't feel to dumb now. 🙂

 

[LordOBoogie]

I've had fun reading your progress reports, Scott. Enjoy your new iPad! I'm sticking with my WiFi only, but I LOOOOVVVVE IT.

 

[Scott-n-Houston]

Thanks! It's fun now. Wish I could post a pic of the winding line.

Good for you Scott!!! Let's hear a review when you've had time to play with it

 

[bornblind]

Scott,

Congrats and thanks for the great post today b

 

[ClemTiger0408]

So like I thought.

I showed up at 5:10pm and walked out at 5:30pm with an iPad.

But to those of you who waited 6+ hours... Congrats?

you are such a douche. What's with all the douchey posts? Get out of my thread! lol

At the store I hit, that wouldn't have happened. I wish I lived in podunk, USA like you then I could have done it myself. I was out by 5:05, and can now take my little girl to her daddy/daughter dance which is why I was in a damn hurry. I guarantee the people who showed up any later than 2 or 3pm are still waiting there.

Scott,

Thanks! It was fun for me too.

I hope I can play with it tomorrow. I doubt I can tonight... so more waiting! haha

And why is he a jerk? Because he does not understand all this Apple new product release hoopla? Most people don't. Can you explain the reasoning behind the decision to wait many hours in line instead of, say, ordering it by mail?

 

[MikePA]

And why is he a jerk?

For the same reason you are. Scott chose to wait in line and started an entertaining thread to share his experience with others. If you, or the other douche, don't like Scott's purchase approach, start your own thread at someonepeedinmycornflakes.com.

No doubt...Thanks Scott for making this day a bit better. And MAJOR PROPS for being a good and dedicated DAD!

😀😀😀😀 hilarious.



And, not to mention, it's an Apple forum with people who like Apple stuff way more than the average person... what do you expect?

 

[Sinfire]

The Apple store in the Galleria opened their doors about 10 mins early. Took 5 mins to make my purchase and was out of the store by 4:55pm.

Now waiting for the iPhone 4g line to start. lol

Thanks! The Dad part was the real driver behind all of this. Had this event not been tonight, I could have taken my time and got there around 4 like my original plan.

 

[maggie2101]

I had fun following Scott's adventures while waiting for my baby to be delivered. Some people are just mean. 😡

 

[bornblind]

I still like the saying "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say nothing at all"

Thanks guys for replying to that so i don't have to 🙂

Yes i know calling a jerk kinda defeats my above quote... Oh well

Similar story for me on the 3rd --- had Easter Egg hunt's in the afternoon so knew I need to get there early enough to get out by Noon. Got there around 7:AM and was the first in the reserved line -- I could have arrived at 9 - and still been out in plenty of time. Sounds like your store had a longer line for 3G's than mine did for release day ipad's --
