[Calvinatir]

Well gee you might just be a very lucky guy there Calvinatr, has that occurred to you???

I'm just a girl from the sticks now, but I used to be a girl from NYC and I can tell you right now there's no way in hell I'd stand on a corner in any city in this wonderful country with even six HUNDRED cash on me that i TOLD someone in advance I'd have ready to swap for his allegedly for sale item.

I hope you got one hand on yer money and the other on speed dial 911 or either some kind of permitted-to-carry insurance. Where do you agree to meet for something like this, i/f/o a police station?

And as for the transactor on the other side, how does he know you didn't print the money. And he, he's coming by himself or with his 10 buds?

C'mon. You guys sound short a few cards either side of this deal. This is what shrinks call inexplicable risk-taking behavior. Over some machine that conventional wisdom has it will languish on the shelves in a few weeks on months. Maybe they're wrong but even when there were no more orange shuffles on the planet I managed to round one up through a legit vendor online and paid with plastic from the convenient castle of my residence.

Stay home, call your mom, say hi, rent a movie, play it on your old fashioned Powerbook so it won't realize the depth of your intent to betray it early next week. Fix up your playlists. Order pizza. Go work out.

Oops (trips over cat climbing off soapbox)...

Uhh...at the airport? Then hop on a taxi and get lunch in Manhattan (not with him).

Played some music through the speakers and it's not great. It sounds like playing music through the speakerphone of your cell phone, or maybe like playing music off your Macbook pro but it was missing one speaker...

 

[malone]

This is starting to concern me! Why is my 1.8/SSD ordered 1/15 at 1:30pm not changed at all? Anyone else in the same boat as me?

Ordered at 8pm PST day of keynote

lame... but not a big lost for me anyways.. but kinda predictable i guess since it's only a mono speaker
i rarely play my mbp speaker

i'm more curious is how easy is it to access the drop down ports on the side.. is it fragile and feel liek it can snap off?

 

[instant hit]

looks like were all on the same plane
when are your guys estimated delivery date?
mine says feb 6 in fedex and feb 5 on apple

been busy reading the last couple pages. i have an estimated delivery of 2/5 by 10:30AM.

UPDATE:

i ordered at 11:50 am the day of the keynote and i haven't moved past the "not yet shipped" stage. someone mentioned if you ordered with iwork preinstalled that it might hold it up.

Mine is in Alaska as well. Says Tuesday delivery but hoping for Mon

 

[chipchen]

Got mine this morning before 9am. Ordered literally right after the keynote (after we filed out of the room, went down the escalators and got to a seating space... went online to order... when store was clogged, we called 800-MY-APPLE and placed a phone order.).

It's awesome... only downside... no WiFi at work (policy)... so I went to the Apple Store during the day to purchase the USB ethernet dongle.

Mine is in Alaska too. Tuesday delivery but I think Monday also, my day off. And I had it ship to work guess I'll go wait at work on Monday if tracking shows on truck.

Let's hope so.

My status just added "Arrived at Fedex Locatio" after it said in transit at a later time weird.

imosaic, what's funny is your tracking info is an almost-exact carbon-copy of mine! haha
only difference being the package data transmitted timestamp of 1:30PM

 

[iMosaic]

I'm in Chicago, so they need to drop mine off before they go out to you.

My Superdrive just left today, but I don't think I'll need to add software for at least a day or so

 

[zlinger]

Does anyone know of a good backpack to buy for the Air? One that has a compartment in it for the laptop? I saw a cool Oakley one and it came with an oakley sleeve as well for the laptop itself. Im a student and also from ireland so if u know of any site or even a type of brand or a name or anything that wud be great!! They have to ship to Ireland too!! I wud get the oakley one but my friend has it already so i dont wanna get it!!!

Cheers.

Check this one out.. I have it, and can confirm it works fine with a MBP.. so MBA no problem.

Yes, mine left today too. We are on the same track. I didn't order it with the machine. Figured the drive would slow down delivery of the computer, I think I was right???

I ordered both at the same time. Glad the Air shipped first though!!!
