Meet href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greg_Packer" target="_blank">the famous Greg Packer, a retired highway maintenance worker from Long Island who also happens to be the first person in line at New York’s Fifth Avenue Apple Store.
Packer is an Apple enthusiast — he still has the first generation iPhone — who has decided to nab the iPad in lieu of a laptop. He’s been at the Apple Store since Tuesday. Dude even slept in Penn Station. That, my friends, is dedication.
We caught up with Packer at the Apple store this morning. Take a look at the video below and keep it here this weekend for more iPad madness.
