Posted: 01.19.2002 Newton got beaned by the Apple good
Hell hath no fury like a woman on a mission for a new laptop... First we got the e-mail (linked earlier) from Apple saying the iBook shipment would be delayed up to 10 more days. Then Todd called their customer service line only to hear it may actually be up to 30 more days. Uhhhh, no. After seeing Dawn's comment earlier today about her iBook shipping experience, I wasn't about to take any chances since my days on the Dell laptop are numbered. We called the new Apple store at the snooty mall and they had the exact same iBook in stock and ready to go. So we cancelled our online order, and an hour later, walked out with my new shiny iBook in hand. Todd's spent most of the evening getting things set up so I'll be able to get acquainted a little easier. Hopefully tomorrow I can actually start playing myself. But for now, I'm happy! Check Todd's blog for weekend updates if you can't get in to mine tomorrow night (we're on different servers)...and have a good 'un everyone!
 Patience is overrated -- and a Mac in the hand is worth two in the online store. Or something. Congratulations on taking care of business and bailing on the online order. There isn't an Apple store nearby, but there are a few authorized dealers. Hmm. It's a good looking machine, isn't it? ¤ ¤ credit: Mike | 01.19.02 at 01:44 AM | link- -this ¤ ¤ Todd read "it's a good looking machine isn't it" and let out a very male-sounding "uhhhh uhhhh ohhhh yeahhh it's gooood". ;-) I think that's two testosterone-induced thumbs-up! Hopefully *I* will get to play with *my* new iBook tomrorow. LOL! But so far from what I've seen, I freakin' love OS-X. It's amazing -- never seen anything like it! ¤ ¤ credit: Robyn | 01.19.02 at 01:49 AM | link--this ¤ ¤That's great.... I'm like you I HATE waiting....thats great that you have a new toy...enjoy it and it does look good... ¤ ¤ credit: heather | 01.19.02 at 07:57 AM | link--this ¤ ¤my sister got that machine a few months ago -- and loves it! congratulations on your new baby! :) yay for brick and mortar stores! have fun this weekend! ¤ ¤ credit: susannah | 01.19.02 at 11:31 AM | link--this ¤ ¤I'm glad you got your new put! I'm a little jealous. Mine is dying as we speak, and there's just no way we can spring for a new one right now! I looove the purple, btw! ¤ ¤ credit: cheryl | 01.19.02 at 11:32 AM | link--this ¤ ¤Whoo hoooooooo!!! I'm glad they had one right there that you could pick up. I love instant gratification! As much as I do things online, when it comes to certain things (like when I bought my Tivo) I always end up getting them in an old-fashioned brick & mortar store. Shh... don't tell my clients! ¤ ¤ credit: Christine | 01.19.02 at 01:46 PM | link--this ¤ ¤Yay!!! So cool, if you run into any quesions feel free to ask me ... I'll try to help. Oh and you must download iphoto if it is not already installed. It is a dream come true for organizing photos! ¤ ¤ credit: Dawn | 01.19.02 at 02:34 PM | link--this ¤ ¤Good deal on picking one up at the Apple Store. Have fun with it! :-) ¤ ¤ credit: Candi | 01.19.02 at 03:35 PM | link--this ¤ ¤Oh yeah, I'm glad you actually have one IN YOUR HANDS now!! :) I can't wait to hear more about what you think about it, after being a PC user. It looks all pretty, and that definitely counts for something :) :) ¤ ¤ credit: kristine | 01.19.02 at 04:33 PM | link--this ¤ ¤oooooooooooooooooooooooh. purty! ¤ ¤ credit: Stephanie | 01.20.02 at 03:07 PM | link--this ¤ ¤Wow, I am so jealous! Glad to see your site back online. Have fun with that iBook (I want one *so* bad...) ¤ ¤ credit: chel | 01.21.02 at 12:24 AM | link--this ¤ ¤
