Lanchester.net ...musings of an old nerd

I ordered a Wi-Fi Apple Tablet (iPad, awful name!) from an Apple Specialist, the closest thing to an Apple Store we have in this area. (And they have served this area well since the 1980's, I think.)

At first they indicated they wouldn't be open on Saturday for us to get our tablets, which I thought was strange. Where was the big party? The tea, cookies, streamers, and balloons?

And then I read a rumor that Apple Specialists have been under a special non-disclosure. They couldn't even let anyone know they were getting any tablets today (April 3, 2010), and they certainly couldn't advertise it in the paper or on the radio. There isn't even a picture of a tablet on their website with a "Coming Soon" banner.

All they would tell me is they have a purchase order with my name on it, and if the tablets come in on Saturday, I can have it. (I have to call in Saturday to see.)

So we'll see. Why did the silly dog wake me up so early? :)
