A big day and a question

leave a comment »

It’s April, it’s spring in Michigan, and it’s Holy Saturday and Passover.

There’s this little college basketball game tonight, too. Something about “Michigan State” and the “Final Four,” we hear.  😉

And last but not least, the iPads have officially sprung at the Apple Store on this spring morning.

It’s a big day.

As much as we’d like to be one of those people we saw on the local weekend morning news who was in line at the local Apple Store enthusiastically waiting for our very own shiny new iPad, we’re not.  😦

One big reason: The other night, David Letterman showed off a new iPad and gave the Top Ten Questions you should ask yourself before waiting in line for the new iPad. I present a link to them below:

Late Show Video – Apple iPad Top Ten List – CBS.com.

But the question Letterman didn’t tell me to ask — and which I had to ask myself — is: “How can I possibly afford $499 (plus the cost of the keyboard accessory) for an iPad while I’m unemployed?”

Still, we may just sneak over to The Apple Store this afternoon anyway to ask if they have a demo iPad with which we could play… I mean look at …. for research purposes, of course. Yeah, that’s it. Research.
