Apple Madness

The line snaked around the corner "outside the New York City flagship Apple Store on Fifth Avenue Friday morning," PC Magazine reported today. First in line: One Greg Packer, age 48. He'd been camping outside the entrance for 5 days. "It's the chance to spend a week and watch the people go by. I plan to get one, possibly two," he said proudly. Another Apple acolyte who had been waiting in line for a mere two days said, "It's just a way of life. If we don't do it someone else will." Well, fellas, whatever floats your boat. But I know what a grinning Chris Rock would say: "White people."
