Every time any new gadget gets announced in the tech world, the same crowd never fails to try to tell me to “wait until the second generation.” As if the fourteenth generation won’t still have bugs in it.
Do me a favor. If you’re too cheap or chicken to live on the bleeding edge of technology, do us all a favor and admit that to yourself and move on. Leave the rest of us, who LIKE living on the edge alone. We enjoy taking a risk every once in a while in order to try something exciting. And we have no use for your condescension.
And Mr. Gruman, if you want anyone to respect what you have to write, you have to be less intellectually dishonest with your audience. I refuse to believe that you are stupid enough to have thought that people would wait in line on March 12th for something that will go on sale April 3rd. The preorder happened online, not at Apple Stores. If your local news station didn’t know that, you certainly should have. So don’t try to paint the lack of a line as anything other than a misunderstanding.
