I was going to go to the comp usa midnight madness, but not for win98.
They had PII 266 (celery) computers for $98 (only 10 per store, some
limitations apply), $0.98 cd rom drives, $0.98 56k modems. $98 15"
monitor, etc. I figured it would be a madhouse though and didn't go. My
roomate went down to the store at 8:30 and 35 people were already in
line (3.5 hrs early). See?

The line was bad I heard, and people were ready to rumble to get the
good deals. No one was buying win98 though.
