too many iphone buyers

Too funny! AT&T has prepared a document for store owners preparing them for the massive crowds wanting to buy an iPhone as soon as it becomes available. It includes directions on how to order "Crowd Control Devices" (stanchions).

Stanchions aren't crowd control devices. They're queue control devices. Crowd control devices are very large men with stern looks on their faces wearing black t-shirts.

That depends on whose side they are on, and whether the other side has some as well!
