iPod Minis - Almost Sold Out (and none in Cupertino)

Two new Apple converts from work and I were just at the Cupertino Apple Store on the Apple campus, and there were no iPod Minis available at all - barring the two on display (not for sale). An employee ushered us off to a "retail store" - which we thought we were at - to get the new Minis, and were told they had them in supply.

A short jaunt over to Valley Fair later, we learned that they too were sold out of EVERY iPod Mini color, with the exception of silver. One of my colleagues bought a silver iPod Mini for his wife, while the other learned he would have to be put on a waiting list for a blue iPod Mini, and if reserved in the morning of a business day, he would have the full business day to pick it up.

The other colleague, buying a 4 Gig Silver Mini for his wife, actually purchased a 40 Gig iPod for himself this weekend, and has been ripping CDs all week. Our corporate network now has quite a few shared iTunes playlists to choose from...

One thing to note: EVERY Macintosh convert here has ALSO bought an iPod (or two), without exception.
