18:01 - Cults is fun!

Kris was at the Valley Fair mall in Santa Clara on August 23, the night Jaguar went on sale at 10:20 PM. The Apple Store there, like many other Apple resellers, had one of the famed "midnight madness" events in which the entire mall was kept open by security so that the droves of fans could line up for their copies of Jaguar.
This is shortly after 11:00 PM, some forty minutes after the OS went on sale. There are still hundreds of people in here-- the line started at the Apple Store (in the distance on the right), and stretched down the length of the lower level of the mall, and back. For what turned out to be hours.
The next day, Jaguar sales at places like Fry's were brisk, but it was business-as-usual. But just look at the kind of zealous energy that got discharged that night.
Yeah, I guess we're freaks. But it's so much fun.
