Here&#8217;s what he said: <em>&#8220;And as to the folks standing in line &#8212; I don&#8217;t personally care what the product is or who&#8217;s company benefits, the folks who do that are strange.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>I love these strange customers! They are standing in line to fork over $400. I want more strange customers! I still remember when I stood overnight just to get tickets to Star Wars. The line was more fun than the movie! (I was standing next to two founders of Hotmail).</p>
<p>Did Chuq just call Apple customers (who are famous for standing in lines just to get into their stores) &#8220;strange?&#8221; Well, yes he did! And that&#8217;s why we&#8217;re having a good laugh.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m just jealous I didn&#8217;t hop in line at 8 a.m. yesterday too. Damn this Xbox is cool!</p>
