Real Apple fans wait in line

At 9 this morning, Rebecca and Peter checked in from the Burlington Mall, where they were waiting for the opening of the new Apple store:

According to a preliminary count we are 34th and 35th in line. All of the usual suspects are here…The young guys next to us who are watching the Simpsons on their iBook, the twenty-somethings with their earbuds plugged in, the dads and moms with their excited kids ... AND the elderly mall walkers who, on each go round, question us as to why we're in line. ...

Ed. note: I am typing this at 4:40 p.m. without further word from the intrepid duo. I can only hope they were not crushed by the swarming mob when the doors opened but are simply at home enjoying their new Apple iWhatevers (since they have already ruled out trying to get in line for the opening of the IKEA in Stoughton).
