The last 15 hours have been pretty bizarre. I saw that Apple had some refurbished 10GB iPods (2nd Gen) for sale in the Special Deals section of the Apple Store. As soon as I got home, I launched my browser, credit card at the ready.

And wouldn't you know it. The "Add" button next to the product description was GONE. Aargh! I was stomping around and yelling at the cat and finally called Apple, who confirmed my nightmare - the one model I've been pining after had sold out. I checked the site a few more times last night, but to no avail. The description was right there taunting me, but there was no way to buy the bugger.

I woke up early and decided to check the Web site just one last time before leaving for work. And there it was - the "Add" button - alive! I quickly placed the order and shuttled off to work.

So the gods must have heard my kvetching and taken pity on me :rolleyes:

Anyway, if you want one, get to that Special Deals section right away! And be sure to reply with your own purchasing stories!
