(all these are in chronological order)

well I finally did it this time, and I won't cancel it, I did it in the past then I chickened out and cancelled a few hours later...I ordered the 17" iMac with 500 gig hard drive and 2 gig memory....thanks to everyone here for helping me out, MacRumors is the BEST! :D
 
Good job choosing the biggest drive, that was my mistake with this iBook, I will probably have to replace it in another 2 months because everything is getting so big, but enjoy!

Yea, I'm happy I did it, I got lots of documents in paper form that I plan to scan into it, I will no longer have paper scattered all over the place, also lots of iMovies I have made
 
I got an e-mail saying it is estimated to Arrive April 4th, is this an overestimation for them to be safe?

It takes 3-5 days to ship currently, and if you signed up for 5-day shipping, you will probably get it in 3-4, so that's between 6-9 days so you'll probably get it between the 30th and the 3rd.
 
Wow, I hope the rumors of new iMacs next Tuesday turn out to be wrong.

I love the fact that my 12 in powerbook hasn't been updated since I bought it...1 YEAR AGO:D I think thats pretty good going

seriously though, don't worry about it, that machine will be brilliant!

It could be.. I ordered an adaptor from the store this week, was told 1-2 weeks to be in stock then up to 5 days delivery, it arrived two days later!

The iMac is a chick magnet. Plus they will ask these questions. How hard is the drive? I mean how big is the hard drive?

Oh, yes. The first thing I asked my boyfriend was how big his hard drive in his desktop was. Damn. Now you know my secret! :p

Congratulations! Enjoy your brand new machine and savor the "new Apple smell" while it lasts.
I wonder if apple could bottle that "new smell" caus the only way i can get that smell now is to remove the battery from my ibook and inhale deeply for a couple of minutes.
PS Does anyone want to donate the box there new apple product came in ( i think ive got a habbit im up to 20 smells a day now)

Never mind that! Does anyone want to donate the Mac their box was wrapped around? This struggling indie film-maker could use a faster Mac! :p
