1. Create new amzn account.
2. Go to recommendations tab, click "rate these items," find the MacBook Air Superdrive, mark it as "I own it"
3. Go to "recommended for you" and click "not interested" on everything except the MacBook Air. Keep doing this until nothing else is left.
4. Go to Gold Box and (hopefully) find the MacBook Air
5. You can switch to your normal account when you go to check out.

Lots of luck.

This method worked for me. I just did it right now. Too bad the expected ship date is March 28

Got my order confirmation today.

I visited my Apple store in Durham, NC yesterday (1-27-08), where I was told they would not have any MBA's to even look at for another 3 weeks. I came home, and pre-ordered one. MACBOOK AIR 13/1.6/2GB/80GB-USA. Got the confirmation email today, in less than 24-hours. States a ship date of 2-12-08, which is of course, the same 3 weeks as stated at the local store.

My delivery date still remains Feb 7th. Usually once the item ships the expected delivery date adjusts to match the tracking data.

Lets hope this isn't a false alarm like last week. :rolleyes:
