Went to my Psychiatrist last night as I felt a bit uneasy having ordered the i7 and actually enjoying reading the posts on this thread. She told me that, like most others, I was showing signs of obsessing over the purchase and delivery of said item. She recommended I cancel and I hesitated at first but went to the Apple Online Store and checked the Cancel button. Bingo, I no longer have to worry about my order, when I ordered it, when it was going to change from Ships in November to some other category..... I felt peaceful....
Then I woke up and said to myself..' self, did that really happen?' Went to check my RSS feeds and Twitter account. Nothing too interesting, so I bopped over to MacRumors to get my daily chuckle. Apparently nothing changed as people were still posting the status of their orders... Some were jubilant while others were depressed.
Checked my email and what to my surprise..... An email from Apple titled, "Apple Store Shipment Notification". I said 'self, that must have been a dream". Sure enough, shipped from Shanghai on Nov 12, 2009 12:17AM. Looks like it is already tomorrow there. You have to love the FedEx tracking system. Like others, Apple email indicates 16th, FedEx indicates "
Estimated Delivery Friday, Nov 13...."
For those interested, when I last looked at my order status on the Apple site last evening, it showed the old Not Yet Shipped Delivers in November status. Obviously it went from that status to shipped in less than 2 hours. Another 3.5 hours and it was on the plane and on its way to the USA (MA).
Oh, by the way... Stormy is now Steve Jobs new Administrative Assistant after all the good publicity she received on this thread. Go Stormy.....
