Wish I was there with you. It is so exciting!

We haven't even got to the pre-order stage in the UK yet. I just feed on all
the excitement you guys are getting in the US.

Good luck and I hope you get the ones you want.

Roll on May 10 when we can get in on the act!
 
I've had fun reading your progress reports, Scott. Enjoy your new iPad! I'm sticking with my WiFi only, but I LOOOOVVVVE IT.
 
I have been following this thread throughout the day and can remember the feeling. Congrats and thanks for the updates.

So like I thought.

I showed up at 5:10pm and walked out at 5:30pm with an iPad.

But to those of you who waited 6+ hours... Congrats?

you are such a douche. What's with all the douchey posts? Get out of my thread! lol

At the store I hit, that wouldn't have happened. I wish I lived in podunk, USA like you then I could have done it myself. I was out by 5:05, and can now take my little girl to her daddy/daughter dance which is why I was in a damn hurry. I guarantee the people who showed up any later than 2 or 3pm are still waiting there.
 
Wow huge jerk
Hope your proud of yourself cause I'm not

And why is he a jerk? Because he does not understand all this Apple new product release hoopla? Most people don't. Can you explain the reasoning behind the decision to wait many hours in line instead of, say, ordering it by mail?
 
And why is he a jerk?

For the same reason you are. Scott chose to wait in line and started an entertaining thread to share his experience with others. If you, or the other douche, don't like Scott's purchase approach, start your own thread at someonepeedinmycornflakes.com.

No doubt...Thanks Scott for making this day a bit better. And MAJOR PROPS for being a good and dedicated DAD!

:D:D:D:D hilarious. :apple:



And, not to mention, it's an Apple forum with people who like Apple stuff way more than the average person... what do you expect?
 
The Apple store in the Galleria opened their doors about 10 mins early. Took 5 mins to make my purchase and was out of the store by 4:55pm.

Now waiting for the iPhone 4g line to start. lol
 
I still like the saying "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say nothing at all"

Thanks guys for replying to that so i don't have to :)

Yes i know calling a jerk kinda defeats my above quote... Oh well
 
Similar story for me on the 3rd --- had Easter Egg hunt's in the afternoon so knew I need to get there early enough to get out by Noon. Got there around 7:AM and was the first in the reserved line -- I could have arrived at 9 - and still been out in plenty of time. Sounds like your store had a longer line for 3G's than mine did for release day ipad's --


Thanks! The Dad part was the real driver behind all of this. Had this event not been tonight, I could have taken my time and got there around 4 like my original plan.
