This month saw the much anticipated arrival of the Big Dot iPad. There were ugly scenes of stampedes and mass hysteria as staff fought to answer the door to the poor bewildered courier. Once the package had been signed for it was carried carefully to the Chief, flanked by those wanting to be in prime position of the grand opening!
Everyone crowded round the desk of Chief BigDot as the package was handed over, and we waited with baited breath as the brown bag was opened. There were many ‘oohs’ and ‘aahs’ as the white box was revealed, many people commenting on how small or how large they were expecting it to be.
Some who had openly expressed their desire to try it out were met with a piercing glare by Chief BigDot, their bravery much admired by their fellow employees. The iPad was borne to wild applause; the atmosphere was electrifying as Chief carefully plugged it in and began synching it to his pc. Time seemed to stand still as we patiently waited for the first flicker of life on the screen. Huddling closely now for a better view, Chief pressed the button and the iPad sprang to life, the stunning screen in all its glory was a joy to behold.
There were tears of joy and squeals of delight as Chief opened the inaugural application – Angry Birds. Stunned silence followed as we watched Chief expertly fling his birds across the large screen. Coin Dozer was next, and staff expressed their amazement at the quality of the graphics as the coins fell and teddybears were won. We had never witnessed anything like it before and probably never will do again.
The iPad is now a full time member of the Big Dot office, however Chief tells us that we can’t try it yet as he’s still ‘testing’ it and that we can expect this to be the case for some time… Hopefully, one day, we will get to witness the amazing-ness of the iPad first-hand very soon.
