I just waited there since 05:00 PST. They pretty quickly announced that they were OUT of the GOLD. duh, so is ROW.. but by the time they got to me (#50ish) they also had no SILVER at all, but made NO ANNOUNCEMENT.. I said, you might want to tell people that were was ALSO no longer ANY SILVER, since there were about another 250 people in line behind me, but they said "they would take that under advisement"

I'm sure enough people will just take the space grey when told they can't have anything, else, but I did notice several people stepping out of line just behind me - who most likely wanted A COLOR.

So, I left and just put in the order at apple.com, shows pending and expected ship date of 9/27-10/1.. we'll see.

Seems like a bit of a botched launch process, or I should say a bit more so than usual
