Does anyone know, based on previous releases, if the new notebooks will be available immediately - as in, I could go to the store tonight (in the UK) and pick one up?
Got a tip for us?

or don't complain about the black keyboard either - then you'd be racist (just ask the dnc).
I don't know if stores will be stocking the new ones straight away, but they will be available to order online half-way/at the end of the keynote. Will be suprised if they are, as we usually get sniffs of rumours about delivery/codes/stores closures, which we still don't have atm. I prefer to get it online as I get a discount through work
Edit: If they are though, will be popping by Regent Street on my way home ^.^

Very doubtful.
The stores close at 8pm in the UK (I think) and the presentation finishes at 7pm.
Also it's unlikely they'll have stock readily available in the stock room, that would present too high a risk for leakage.
My feeling is that the stock is secured in central warehouses, of which I think the UK one (or one of the UK ones) is in Lutterworth?
To illustrate (for fun and to kill time...)...

No worries the firewire spec has bee n designed to work over ethernet now. so an ethernet to FW adapter should be coming.
which is awesomeRob a bank, steal one, take out a loan. Take seige of the keynote and hold the thing for like a thirty notebook ransom and give one to me for being the get-away driver...
All I get here is a dark grey screen making the text hard to read. Do you have the dark grey background screen?

Excitement level seems to be rising. People are getting antsy. Tech writers, on the whole, arent used to standing for more than six minutes at a time. On the scale of strength, were somewhere inbetween arthritic grandma, coma victim and dying jellyfish.

Sorry you had to miss that it gave me a good chuckle.
Thanks Mike! Your right Firefox 3 works great. Have no idea why safari renders it that way. The more I use Firefox the more I like it! Thx again!
I think those are the old ones. I don't think they've stopped calling them "new".
True. My local Apple store closes at 6pm (Glasgow, Scotland). They will start selling tomorrow if they announce immediate availability. I think they will be as one of the employees said they have 'received a memo' today, but would not give any further details.
Apple resellers won't get stock for 10 days to 14 days.
