Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler What will you use the iPhone for?

OK, I gotta vent. What's wrong w/ the college kids today? No sense of commitment. (Yes, I'm generalizing.)

3 of my coworkers were planning on getting iphones on Friday. Rather than pay ebay prices, we were willing to pay 3 guys $10/hr to stand in line. At 4 PM, we'd come back and take the spot to buy our iphones. One group of college guys said yes on Monday and backed out yesterday. Then I scrambled and some neighborhood kids back from school said yes on Wed. I called this morning and he says "Uh, I forgot I have to get my wisdom teeth out on Friday. So I can't go in the morning but maybe after." "So that means you can't even stand in line at all." "Uh, oh yeah, right".

GRRR!! So then I check craigslist and even put up an ad. People are bidding themselves out for crazy prices. One woman responded to me and said it's $300. I said no thanks.

I'll go online at 6 PM (not clear if it's EST or PST) and go that route. I can wait a week for it to ship from China.

That's capitalism for ya.
