Wait, so going for Apple stuff makes you classy? I thought their target consumers were primarily the Artsy-Musicky crowd and girls that can’t understand technology, both of which groups are by definition lame. I can’t stand a single item on their product line, but then again I’m just a non-classy non-artsy non-cartoony computer scientist and engineer.

That’s a good filter to apply.

Reverse the genders of the people in the comic and it takes on a whole other meaning.

Well, on the subtle aspect of it, having an iPad means that you are keen at technology, wealthy enough to easily afford one, classy enough to go for the Apple stuff, and gentle not to use rough language when showing “your pad”… in the other sense.

Good enough, Scott.

Cheers,

Daniel.

The guy must have very big inside-jacket pockets.
(and I think the boobs are just fine)

Funny stuff. Congrats on the iPad, Scott. Will be looking forward to your reviews of it.

Sadly pre-orders in Hong Kong won’t start until later this year. A friend of mine commented that “Now all the pre-ordered iPads for the US are waiting to be delivered from ShenZhen (the city just a few miles north of HK). It’s ironic for that people in HK/China need to wait for them to go round the globe: SZ > US > HK.” I am thinking to get one at an Apple Store in June when I head stateside, since they still won’t be available here. My better half seems to want one as well (mostly to play a larger version of Plants vs Zombies I suspect) so it may be an expensive trip.
