Did you get one? I pitched at about 7am. ~70th in the queue. Nada 1.5/640 HDDs left, as expected. Got the rest of the stuff I wanted though! :D

Loved the system they used. Orderly and freaking fair.
 
I know this is rather OT but anyway.

Yip, but only just...I eventually got the 10th (last) 499 1.5tb ticket but had to fight tooth an nail for it though! Most the 1.5tb were all purchased by the lady right at the front the queue. Since each person was only allowed 1 of each special (and many people werent interested in the 1.5-crazy hey), she convinced basically everybody else in front of me to buy one anyway and she'd pay them back. That really got me annoyed, but since I was in pos 9 I figured I'd just shutup as I'd be getting mine anyway. Well just then hordes of family members started pushing into the queue. What most of them had done is sent their kid to wait from early hrs and then at around 07:00 just rocked up with like a million siblings and mom and dad etc etc and thought they could just push in...and they did! Fluckin buggas. Upon confronting the fam in front of me about this clearly unfair action, I was basically immediately slapped with the race card. Stupid bi*ch went around telling everyone she could see that "The whites are ganging up against us...etc" Typical fashion in this supposed "New" South Africa. Yeah right, only thing thats changed is now its acceptable for africans to be prejudice towards us whities.
Anyway, after a lot of back and forth they eventually "gave in" and promised to only take two 1.5 between the lot of them.
Even though I was now like 20th in the q, somehow when I got to the ticket guys, there was still one 1.5 left.
I would have been soooooo p'd if I had walked away empty handed...after all, I had missioned all the way from the city to get this drive.
In the end it turned out ok, just really glad I woke up before my alarm and decided to go so early.

Any specials on Laptops that you guys know about?

Looking for something very standard. Will be used for bit of browsing, emails and some Office work.
There will never be games played on it. Doesn't need a massive HDD and definitely not necessary for a multi-core processor.

Mother-in-law has been bugging me for a while now and I want her off my tail.

Thanks guys.
 
She'll never benefit from a dual core anyway.

Open Office and Facebook. That's it.
That is why she keeps nagging me for a laptop.
 
This thread is not for the discussion of what your mother in law is going to do with a laptop. Keep it on topic
