iPlonker

i get an email from pc world during the week (me and pc world are tight like that) telling me tha ipad2 will be in stores from 5pm friday 25th.
that's nice of them to tell me.
funny enough i am quite close to a pc world so why not pop in on the way home. not a bad idea at all. do you know what that is exactly what i did. i popped in on the way home. it is good when a plan comes together.
now i am very very tempted by the ipad. i am keen on it. i want it. i desire it. so maybe just maybe it will be purchase at first sight.

i stroll in.
i don't bother to gaze at the big sign advertising the ipad2, because i am too cool for school. i don't make a bee line to the apple section; don't want to be appear too keen.
i weave my way there.
i touch the ipad2.
i stroke the ipad2.
i love the ipad2.
however commonsense has kicked in and i have resisted the urge to get the card out and scream: "give me half a dozen for the hotel room."
i needn't have shown such iron willed restraint.
as i stood longingly stroking and touch a macbook (i need one of those as well) i overheard a conversatin between the member of staff who deals with the apple product and a customer.
"can i buy one? do you have it in stock?"
"no i can order it for you if you want, but you can do that yourself online. i am not sure when it will come though, none of the team know how long it will be before we get our stock."
it is bad enough that apple tease me with their delicious offerings but when pc world start doing it then that is just wrong.
though i am not sure why i am surprised there have been several occasions i have been there to get something they clearly have marked as being in stock - only to get there to discover it is gone and they don't have any stock to replenish it with.

an well i couldn't afford to buy it anyway.
