Mine says it'll be here by the 11th of December.
You certainly got the best deal of anyone. "Bought iMac for $101". That's about a 95 percent discount.
Hey, don't put Bose in the same sentence as Apple. Bose is crap. They have great marketing and nothing else. Apple actually has great products.
Nice move by Microsoft to keep Office on lots of macs in spite of iWork. I mean, how could you not buy it? Well, I'm in Canada so I'm not invited, but still, enough of you go out and buy office for Mac today, that keeps market share up and theoretically, you might convince iWork users to go back to office down the road.
(edit: this assumes the student edition, where your final price ends up around $68)
Happy shopping, I'll be thinking of you all while I'm at work today!
Minor side 'vent' and than I'm done with the subject. All companies have clever marketing that succeed. Apple doesn't? Don't pretend not putting that blowfly up your nose. However, I'm tired of hearing -- no pun intended -- about Bose being "crap." Granted it it may not be the best thing you've ever heard or be as "lifelike' as they claim but it is by no means crap. Maybe overpriced but that's opinion and I'm not going to go into that. Opinion again yes but only so far...If you think that something of similar size with the same number of similar sized speakers sounds as good as something like the Bose Wave Radio, you're mistaken. I'm not claiming that they have some kind of phenomenally breathtaking technology. I'm most certainly not saying that there aren't better audio systems out there because there absolutely are. I'm saying for the size of the unit and speakers it does quite well. A home theater will sound better but that's like comparing a Mac mini to a Mac Pro. You may be "trippin'" but there's no way you could realistically think that some kind of $25 "boombox" or whatever those compact battery powered radios are called is comparable.
As much as I want to support my local community college, I couldn't pass up saving $110 off of an $800 product! I thought all Macs come with Leopard now. Could this be old stock? Could I still get Leopard from Apple if I do end up with Tiger instead? (That was one of the reasons why I waited to upgrade to an Intel Mac Mini - I wanted Leopard) Anyone have this type of experience before? I realize MacRumors is pushing Parallels but a brief comment about Parallels. After using it for a long time reasonably happily I tried VMWare (Free 30 day trial) this last weekend. I have to say it is far smoother in every respect. I did a parallel (pardon the pun) instal so I have both able to run, but you can also convert the Parallel's installation if required with an additional utility.
One thing I noticed thought that I didn't catch. The description says that the Mac Mini comes with Tiger instead of Leopard.
