The iStampede, hordes knocking down each other and fighting for Fruity laptops

A rush to purchase $50 used laptops turns into a violent stampede.

Officials opened the gates at 7 a.m., but some already had been waiting for hours in line. When the gates opened, it became a terrifying mob scene.

People threw themselves forward, screaming and pushing each other. A little girl's stroller was crushed in the stampede. Witnesses said an elderly man was thrown to the pavement, and someone in a car tried to drive his way through the crowd.
I think these were the old G3 ibooks which were pretty much crap slow laptops.
