WTF is wrong with APPLE!?

So, Mrs. CG & I broke down and bought Ipod touches for the "little cyclists" in our lives for Christmas. So we go up to the pimply faced dude at FutureShop and advise him that we need 3 and could we please have a pink one, a blue one and a lime green one, (so that the little cyclists won't get them mixed up of course...) But pimply faced dude says they are only available in chrome.

WTF?! This is Apple we are talking about here- the company that made it fashionable to have every manner of gizmo in whatever colour tickles our fancy! OK- must be a marketing ploy to get us to spend more $$$$ on Ipod condoms, (aka those rubberized cases) in 92 different flavours, right? NOPE! Pimply face dude then says they have 3 colours avilable: white, black and opaque!

WTF?! Did Steve Jobs take a sabatical or something???????? :rolleyes:
 
Bring them over and I will paint them for you.
 
This is not small stuff- this is potential WW-3 in the making! Anything to keep the peace between the little cyclists!

Its not easy with 3 teenagers ya know (2 of which are hormonal females!!) :eek:


Like I said

Bring um by and I will paint them.
 
Mrs.CG is a terminal lurker! LOL

Besides she's still sleeping- not a morning person... :o

Wake her up. The ''ask Mrs.CG a question'' thread could have thread of the year possibilities.

Might be right up there with the '' ask a hooker '' thread.

Of course there are several Riley threads which are near impossible to beat.
 
Too late... in spite of the pimply faced dudes OBVIOUS lack of salesmanship... we bought them last night anyway... :rolleyes:


If you look around you can get "skins" for the IPODS

Yep, as per the pimply faced dudes suggestion- in white, black and opaque... but that's my point. WTF happened to all the neato colours?????

Apple missed the boat on this one... Job's must be sleepin at the wheel... (or dealing with medical issues), but come on... who's running things over there when Jobs is unavoidably preoccupied?

The IPOD touch is is more a tool than a toy so it is more conservative.


I will check with my baby in Seattle to see if there are options.
