Laptops for $50?!?!!

No, I am not selling laptops for $50, lol. Here's an article about 5,500 people who rushed to buy 1,000 laptops at $50 a piece...which doesn't make sense, since theres 5,500 people and only 1,000 laptops, the other 4,000 must've been mad.

there is already a thread on this in general discussion

Yep, nothing new. That's over now.

What kind of notebooks were they? I know they are 4 year old apple's, but are they really good for anything? Surfing and e-mail I guess?

I would have liked one for myself for web surfing in my bed but if someone has to pee in her pant just to stay in the line, forget it.

For Apple laptops, I'm surprised there were that many people fighting over them. I'd understand if they were 5 year old Windows since some can still play games and more but Apple? Apple software are rarely available locally and games are few and far compared to PC.
