It was a mad rush - a shopping frenzy! People stood in line for hours enduring all kinds of weather in hopes of purchasing the - Play Station 3. You have to wonder what historical figures like Harriet Tubman would think of such madness over technology?
Well, Harriet Tubman was a determined woman and if nothing else, she would applaud the determination of gamers and e-bay entrepreneurs alike. Once she was determined to sit and wait for $20 that she believed would be given to her because she had received a word from the Lord saying that she would.
When questioned about her waiting and determination she responded, “Anyhow I’m gwine to sit here till I get it.”

That was a very interesting approach to combining games and such an historical figure.
I was a little surprised that you put Harriet on the gaming frenzy side–but you supported that belief with a well-reasoned quote and anecdote. Nice job.
Thanks for posting an entertaining blog.
