Now I've seen it all

[Huge]

My bro sent me this on his trip to Atlanta: ipod vending machines.

 

[Inkara1]

How does it get dispensed? Dows it just get pushed off the front of the shelf and fall to the bottom? I don't think I'd want anything with a hard drive to get dropped like that.

 

[Nixy]

Apparently there's a robotic arm...yeah...I looked it up...

 

[HomeLAN]

Haven't seen one of those yet. He say where he took the pic down here?

 

[Huge]

Not sure, just that it was in Atlanta. I'll send off an email.

That's awesome. My nephew just washed his Shuffle in a pair of pants and when it dried out, it was good as new. And clean.

We have a bunch of Apple stores around, we don't really need a vending machine. But that's got to be great for impulse purchases and the novelty of it.

My sources say in the airport

Just like a cell phone. If you let it dry out before you try to turn it back on, you'll generally be fine. It's when you panic and immediately try to turn it back on that the contacts corrode. I'd be concerned about something hard-drive based getting wet though because water might seep through the filtered vent in the drive and never dry out.

I haven't heard back yet, but I would guess this as well since he is a pilot.

 

[HomeLAN]

That would explain it. I avoid Hartsfield-Jackson like the plague unless I have a reason to be down there.

 

[Professur]

So Inky is now renamed Plague?

 

[HomeLAN]

No, Inky would be renamed "A reason".

 

[Professur]

A. Reason.

*airport overhead speakers* Would Mr. A. Reason please present himself to the information counter. Mr. Aaron Reason, the information counter please. Thank you.

 

[HomeLAN]

Nah, I'll just pick him up in baggage claim. After a flight all the way from CA with people who don't know him, I figure to just look for a dude covered in tomato.

 

[Professur]

That'll work.

 

[Gonzo]

That's also how he'd look with people that did know him

 

[Inkara1]

Tell you what... why don't I just wear the loudest Hawaiian shirt I own? It's neon orange.

 

[HomeLAN]

I dunno, dude. Orange with tomato - Bleh.
