ibook

CNN is carrying a story about folks stampeding to get their hands on used iBooks for $50. These 4-year old laptops were used in the Henrico County School district in Virginia and are being phased out. Fights ensued, a lady pee-ed on herself, and a dude used a folding chair to beat back those who tried to cut in line. Then all the Hulkamanics rose up and… oh wait, wrong venue.

Would this happen if the laptops were Dells?

Update: Videos of the stampede are available here. A slideshow of photos is here.

Update x2: Hey, is that X to the Z, Xzibit of MTV’s Pimp My Ride fame, in the white jersey scrambling for an iBook?

Update x3: Some entrepreneurs are cashing in on this event with this t-shirt.
