Geez, Tim, now THAT was a stupid comment.
You think "Humans stampede over computer sale" isn't legitimate local news
and is merely media self-promotion?
>> 99% of the population would call us
"pathetic and ridiculous".
At least that point is accurate -- must've been looking in a mirror when you
wrote it.

This is not only pathetic and ridiculous, it was
entirely
irresponsible, both on the part of the school district and the herd of
jackasses that showed up to have a small chance to pay for a used
computer.
And this is different than a buncha dweebs with a mailing list talking about
"used computers"? 99% of the population would call us "pathetic and
ridiculous".
