iT’s iNcomprehensible iSn’t iT?
Happy Sunday! We’ve been watching the whole iPhone excitement all weekend and there’s one thing we are totally, completely, 100% sure about: that somewhere in this nation there is a poor soul who still can’t get his or her iPhone to work. More than that, we’re willing to bet that said poor soul is going to have to wait until tomorrow before whoever he or she needs to call is going to show up in the office. So we’re pretty sure that right now, after spending a few hundred dollars to get a phone that won’t work, our poor soul is hopping mad and ready to never use an Apple product again.
So hello there, sir or madam! We’re sorry you’ve been having a bad weekend. But if you’re really looking to change your lifestyle, why not start with the HP Pavilion AMD 2.8GHz 5600+ Desktop Computer? There’s an Athlon 64 X2 (W) 5600+ 2.8 GHz processor, a GeForce 6150SE nForce 430 chipse, and 3GB of PC2-5300 240 pin, DDR2 SDRAM. There’s also a 400 GB 7200 RPM SATA hard drive, and you don’t need to check in with some crashy server to use it. Best of all, the HP Pavilion AMD 2.8GHz 5600+ Desktop Computer is running Windows Vista Home Premium with Windows Media Center, which means there’s barely any Apple on it at all!
Just think, when you buy this HP Pavilion AMD 2.8GHz 5600+ Desktop Computer, you’re sending a message. A message that AT&T will probably hear loud and clear. Especially since they’re cool with wiretapping. You’ll be saying “Hey, AT&T! I’m mad as hell and not going to think different any more!”
Burn a protest video with the 16X DVD±R/RW 12X LightScribe SATA drive and hand it out on the streets! Use the 10/100 Base-T networking interface to tell Facebook how you were wronged! You could even cover up one of the 6 USB 2.0 ports with electrical tape to symbolically represent the way you have been silenced. All you wanted was a phone, right? No network, no peace! No network, no peace!
Yeah, okay, we freely admit that MOST people will have had a really good experience and be waking up right now to keep playing with their perfectly good iPhone that works like a charm. But we’re not talking to them. We’re talking to you, one person who had a completely lousy experience. Today is your day on sellout.woot. We value you. And this HP Pavilion AMD 2.8GHz 5600+ Desktop Computer is the only way we could think of to show it.
We tried to call and tell you all this but… well, you know. Sorry!
