Have a pencil and iPad in Louisville, another iPad left Anchorage but I suspect it is already in Louisville, and a keyboard that can't be found yet. Either way have no worries that they will all arrive Wednesday.
Got a tip for us?

We have departure scans from Taiwan at 9:48pm for our 12.9 keyboard folios. Next stop, Anchorage.
So on reflection, i've decided to refuse delivery because it has a camera bump, I'll have black bars when playing The Quest, i can't access my external hard drive full of all my a-team and knight rider VHS rips, and possibly worst of all it only has 4 megabytes of RAM, of which only 640kb is accessible to apps, and most of that is taken up by the keyboard drivers that it loads when it boots, and you don't have access to config.sys to remove it.
You should be using TSRs to maximize the 384K RAM between 640K and 1M and keep them out of the beginning 640K.
Em, hello, aren’t you missing the bigger picture. There’s a serious point you missed off your list of negativity.
How the hell do we access our 5.25” floppies on it? I cannot believe they omitted such a crucial piece of hardware.
Truly. I still have my 3 diskette version of the original DOOM from the 90s version 1.666). How will I ever load it onto my iPad?
My iPad and Pencil are both in the US now, and the Keyboard Folio left Hong Kong a few hours ago--I guess that means it's on it's way to AK?
Honestly, I had kind of stopped checking until this morning. The Debbie Downer reviews, complaints in other parts of MacRumors about prices, and sky-is-falling narrative about Apple on Wall Street has really killed my buzz about getting my new iPad. Hopefully my attitude will change on Wednesday once I have everything unboxed and set up.

I remember when i was 14 i had various boot disks with different configs depending on what i was playing, one without a mouse driver had about 613KB free base memory. Man i was proud of that config.

Joking aside - that is the one thing that hasn't bothered me about technology. I am no audiophile, but i am a commuter, and the number of times i used to snag my cable on ticket machines, other people, my watch, my bag, i ditched cables as soon as i could get my first pair of bluetooth headphones and never looked back.
Oh yes, nothing like an evening wrestling with autoexec.bat so your new game could play, LOL.
TSR's still don't use memory between 640k and 1meg.
You need to load them with QEMM-386 to boost them out of the lower 640...
(My 11 is in KY, should slide on through. ;-)

...ask me how I know...
No one in the U.S. has shipped confirmation either yet, we are just tracking by reference.
Yea I thought it would have been scanned in at this point. The flight has continued on to Cincinnati at this point. Stuff has been sitting there for hours now.
I'm expecting my shipped email (Apple Pencil) tonight/early am tomorrow since it's 'overnight' shipping. Now if I could only get an update out of AT&T...
Ah, those were the days. Squeezing every bit of memory you could to get Magic Carpet running on a 386DX
I actually hated when windows 95 came along, I was too much of a DOS guy, thank god you could still use it at that point.
Just stop reading all the meaningless negative posts, people excited about buying the Pro know what they are getting and why they are getting it, most of them probably don't even know Macrumors exists and a lot of those that do aren't the ones ragging on about crap like the missing headphone jack. Some of the reviews are just echoing the same crap that can also be safely ignored, in fact all I've been looking at the reviews for is a better representation of the 2 cases to see how they work.
The one complaint I have in common with the negative posts & reviews is not being able to access external storage at least to be able to read from it in the Files App and copy to the iPad, Write support would be a bonus but I could live with just having a better way of importing RAW files to the iPad because I only want process photos in my camera roll.
I still fondly remember those "Start Me Up" Windows 95 commercials. Hated Windows 95 itself, but those commercials were part of my childhood!Ah, those were the days. Squeezing every bit of memory you could to get Magic Carpet running on a 386DX

There are definite patterns in the ebb and flow of Apple news and product releases every year, and most of it I just shrug off. I've seen every one of these movies before. Today's Nikkei story about XR demand? Like clockwork. Knew it was coming sooner or later. Whatever. But one thing that always bugs the crap out of me is when I have a new device coming my way, and people are going to such lengths to trash it. I guess it triggers some buyer's remorse sometimes. Not that I'd ever let that keep me from a new iPad Pro!
Should be about three hours or so before we see UPS61 arrival scans in Anchorage.
As far as UPS59 & UPS63 go...did anyone get any departure scans from Hong Kong after they left around 7am central time?

Yep i remember installing a Sound Blaster pro in my 365SX-25 and messing about with MS-Dos trying to find the 590k out of the 640k that i needed so it would run properly.Ah, those were the days. Squeezing every bit of memory you could to get Magic Carpet running on a 386DX
