Recipe for destruction?
Let’s call this recipe: How fast can we force our AT&T/Apple Store Employees to quit?
Step 1: Announce Apple iPhone 3G.
Step 1a: Price it so almost anyone can actually afford the damn thing.
Step 1b: Make people wait a whole month until it’s available.
Step 2: Only allow in store pick up.
Step 3: Only allow in store activation.
Step 4: Release it on a Friday.
Step 5: Stir and let simmer for forty-five minutes until hot. Makes several thousand servings.
Now, Step 3 should not be a problem, all the other carriers do in store activation. The slight problem with recipe is the Apple Reality Distortion Field (ARDF) is at an all time high right now. Add to the fact that several Apple Cult Followers, er, I mean, fans have been known to actually arrive at an Grand Opening of an Apple Store some several hours/days early just adds spiciness to an already full recipe.
Sure, I’m still going to go. Hell, surviving an Apple Store Opening is one thing, buying a phone and walking out is piece of pie. . .
. . .yeh, it’s gonna be a mad house…
