News from AOL 
I'm using AOL for my dialup access this week. I never log into AOL. We still keep the service for the several email addresses that we want to keep. When I just logged in I had to click on the link "Panic Ensues in Rush to Purchase Bargain Laptops".
| | A rush to purchase $50 used laptops turned into a violent stampede Tuesday, with people getting thrown to the pavement, beaten with a folding chair and nearly driven over. One woman went so far as to wet herself rather than surrender her place in line. |
| | "This is total, total chaos," said Latoya Jones, 19, who lost one of her flip-flops in the ordeal and later limped around on the sizzling blacktop with one foot bare. |
| | An estimated 5,500 people turned out at the Richmond International Raceway in hopes of getting their hands on one of the 4-year-old Apple iBooks. The Henrico County school system was selling 1,000 of the computers to county residents. New iBooks cost between $999 and $1,299. |
| | Officials opened the gates at 7 a.m., but some already had been waiting since 1:30 a.m. When the gates opened, it became a terrifying mob scene. |
Wow! Trampled for four-year-old iBooks?
