More than one hundred iBook bargain hunters didn't get the memo

The Richmond Times-Dispatch reports that more than 100 people – who obviously don't read TUAW – showed up at the Richmond International Raceway in Virginia yesterday, hoping to get their grubby little paws on some cheap iBooks. The only problem is that the sale is next week, and it's restricted to Henrico County residents. Duh.

In case you've been napping, here's a recap of where things stand now:

"1,000 laptops will go on sale to Henrico residents and taxpayers at 9 a.m. Tuesday at the Richmond International Raceway. Gates will open at 7 a.m. Each machine costs $50, and cash and checks will be accepted.

Potential buyers must bring proof of residency, such as a driver's license or a Henrico real estate tax bill. There's a one-per-person
limit, and all sales are final. For more information, check www.co.henrico.va.us.

Don't make me tell you again.
