Not really. All of those pics like that you see are a small percentage of the billions and billions of Chinese. From everyone I've talked with that has been there and/or does business with the Chinese, it seems most of the people are in rural areas and are 'poor' compared to the yuppie Chinese people.

Thing is, when they're loaded, they're REALLY loaded.

Sure, but remember that in total they have at least 4 times as many people as we do. So even if only 5% of them are affluent enough to buy iPads, that'd be like 20% of our population.

I'm trying to see the point you are making.

I was pointing out that those rich Chinese you see are a very small fraction of all of the Chinese. You essentially said the same thing.

But...but....it's got that bling-tastic little apple logo on it!!! It's worth an extra couple hundred bucks just for that!!!

I love my Macbook, don't get me wrong... but even I would rather wait a few months to buy whatever new whirlygig they come up with.

I do wish I had an iPad if only for the Adobe apps they have on there (would be very useful for my college program.. but it's not like I haven't survived without it).

Jesus, man. You just had to open that door, didn't you?

Disgust? No. Think less of them because they want a computer that bad? Damn right I do. I won't even wait in the meal line up at work. I sit around till the line subsides then breeze right through..
