So goes CNN Money’s deck in an article about how Apple fans are lining up coast to coast to be one of the first to fork over $500 or $600 for Apple’s latest, and potentially revolutionary, concoction.

It all makes for some story. We don’t think it beats the brain-eating zombie mob infiltrating an Apple Store last month, but the iPhone launch saga comes close.
