dual 2,5 arrived in belgium
well kind of
I did drive to the netherlands (mac support Uitgeest), it was a long long trip (>250 km single, it was a 4 hours drive to get there, because of lots of traffic jam. Going back took about 2h30). I cancelled my order that I had placed on 10/06, because it was a never ending story. Now had the opportunity to get one for real, I took it! It is a demo-model that has been working for 5 days on a video conference (so no dao). They did run an extended hardware test for me (at the store), they took back the stock 160Gb for 80 and I bought two 250Gb drives (raid: mirrored, so I do not have to back-up anymore). They gave me a 5% reduction on the hole thing. Not very much, but the apple margin is about 4%, and, for me it is a new machine and, last but not least: I have it!! (250Gb drives where quite cheap, not apple-like pricing
My trip started at 13u00 (after a lot of preparation: collecting money, my girlfriend took an half day off at work, making sure I could export the machine, get them do the hardware test, finding best route...). I was back (never stopped for food or anything: picking up the machine, little talk, pay & go!) at 20u30.
Now I am setting up the machine (wich is very huge and haevy). (I am writing this on my G4).
First the G5 did not want to start up (panic), but my (new, never used) adc monitor is defective (cable is broken), and that caused my computer not to start up. I have an other monitor wich I am using now, I hope I can get an new one asap (I need 2 screens - it are formac gallery 2010's ).
More later, I need to insert install disc 2.
(ps. I am the 7th person with a dual 2,5 in Belgium. Only 6 are deliverd yet).
