So the alarm goes off at 0505. I will not allow myself to wake at even hours so it is always 0505, 0423,0457, or 0503. It is a weird habit I entered into ages ago, but anywho. I wake up usually 2-3 hours before I need to be at work so I can ease myself into the day. It is the one part of the day that belongs totally to ME.
This morning had special significance. It is March 11th, and today I can place my order for the new Ipad 2! Yup, I am that guy who has been eagerly awaiting the release of the second generation before plopping down my hard earned money for the latest greatest Apple invention.
I avoided the first generation because i knew the second would be around the corner in a matter of time and I would want it too. Buying the second generation means i will not buy again until the fourth generation. mainly because I cannot afford to buy a new tech device as often as Apple rolls one out. Hell, i waited til the fourth generation to purchase an Iphone.
Well, I woke up and whipped my PC (not apple laptop here) and placed my order. Bummer! They charged tax!! I ordered one of the covers as well. Then I see the summary. The cover will arrive a full week before the Ipad and the Ipad may not get here until the 29th of march!!! The evil bastards.
This is why Apple sucks!! They should have provided a pre-order so we could receive the Ipad around the same time as the store release. Se I live in a place where there is no - NONE - Apple stores and I work for a living. Sot the thought of gassing at $3.58/gal and driving 100 miles to stand in line for an Ipad after working a full day was not a fucking option. C'mon Apple get with the program!!
I know why they are being suck douche bags this time around. A 1700 release will garner local and national media attention so they can show the losers standing in line for yet another product. Is it really necessary? The ba-zillions you will make off the selling of the product is not enough??
Oh well, whenever my new gadget comes in I will be giddy with girl-like enthusiasm!!
