Not the Way for a laptop
Yesterday the school district in Henrico County, Virginia decided to sell some used iBooks for $50. You would think they would have had a raffle for the iBooks, held a lottery, or issued invites to folks who wanted to buy, or placed the things on eBay. Instead, the locality advertised far and wide. The end result was a riot over the machines. They only had 1000 iBooks for sale and over 12000 folks attended.
Besides the fact that the school district totally dropped the ball on this sale. For a iBook that has been put though the ringer by your average student, I would have priced them for 200 to 250 dollars. I would also had decent security and crowd control.
Sadly, both of these things weren't done and it shows.
Futhermore, this is further proof that society is getting more and more greedy. Also, this is the 'out for myself, everyone else be dammed' mindset at its worst. No wonder why the whole world thinks the things they think about us.
Sad, very sad.

Yes, it's very sad, but that's the reality.
