“Freight company TNT is reported to be struggling to deliver the 20,000 orders across the country, with buyers being told their purchases should arrive before June 7, while those placing new orders are being advised of two-week delays,” Davis reports.
“One million iPads were sold in just 28 days in the US, and that huge demand delayed the worldwide launch,” Davis reports. “In Australia 30,000 were sold on the first day, with 20,000 more expected to be sold over the weekend.”

Paradigm is easily a twenty cent word.
So, does that make two cardiologists a paradox?
hahaha, I had to think about both of those jokes.
How many millions have to be sold before the iPad stop being a useless device?
The moment the user becomes useful.
So, does that make two cardiologists a paradox?”
Only if they specialize in Mallards.
. . . And paratroopers have to explain themselves.

I think the pair pressure is getting to Ampar.

Ampar, your puns work much better in English. I’m just sayin’.
