    They just don't get queueing over there. *shakes head*

    Buyer of said place in queue would still be considered pushing in and thus unable to retain the place they just bought

    Rather gives the lie to the theory that the reason people will buy the iPad2 because of price.

    They'll buy it because of "ZOMG A NEW APPLE!! I WANT STEVE JOBS' BABIES!!1"

    If they are retarded enough to pay $600 for a device that can't do anything remotely well, then they are probably dumb enough to pay to be the 'first'.

    For some reason I believe that to be C++ (am I right?)

    This is pretty sad. The iPad 2 might be a nice bit of kit, but it's not that hard to wait a few days/weeks to get hold of one.
