RE:"you see nothing wrong with getting people to stand in line at 3 AM for 15 lousy laptops"

Standing in line at 3am IS OPTIONAL. Anybody thats done the BF thing knows that you take your chances.

OTOH...I'm all for making this stuff everyday low prices.

At least Circuit City had the decency to open at midnight for all us night owls. <G>

I think all the people in that line KNEW WalMart was only going to sell so many of the $400 laptops. That's why they stood in line all night. They knew the game, and were voluntarily playing it.
