iPhone launch day - I’m in the queue
Nov 09, 2007 I Apple Events.Live from outside the Apple Store Trafford Centre, Manchester.Well not long to go now - and I’m sat here getting a numb behind on this marble floor!It’s 12:20 and I’m 6th in line. I thought I was a touch insane, but the two guys at the front have been here since 8am this morning.More updates to follow.
13:20 - My behind is really numb already - but we keep smiling.12:51 still only nine in the queue - so no crowd trouble for the bouncers yet!
15:00 - MikeT plays Superman and reveals his MacBites garb
*Looks like he changed in the toilets to me!!*
15:40 Battery running low now, both the laptop and mine - but here are some more pic
Oh, there are about 40 in the queue now
17:20 There’s now around 200 in the queue - more arriving as I type.
I’ll make this the last post as Batt is low and it’s nearly time.
17:30 BTW Just for the occasion, get on to iTunes and buy Perfect Timing (This Morning) by Orba Squara
19:40 Home at last, but not even opened it yet - Elaine and MikeT insisted I post the final pic from the Trafford Centre
Now down to the activation. Hopefully I’ll post with iPhone in a short while.
