Congrats on your purchase! You're gonna love your new computer (and your nano as well). That configuration is fast and you'll wonder how you ever lived with your PC...haha 
Really? What the heck! I don't understand what's going on. Are my custom configurations really delaying it that much? Did you upgrade anything? I didn't pay for overnight shipping and I was thinking about it. Guess I should have. I just checked my status at Apple and it STILL says "Not yet shipped."
Absolutely. Macbooks will run the CS3 suite flawlessly.
Awesome! Good to know. I really want to try it out.
This whole waiting thing sucks a ton. I just can't believe that the status hasn't changed on Apple any. Sigh. I guess it has to go to "Prepared for shipment" status before it can actually be shipped, right? And I was looking so forward to tomorrow morning being the day...
Thanks for all of the congrats everyone.

Thanks so much! I know, I know... I really can't wait to get my hands on it. I already have a list of things I want to do!
I JUST saw this after I posted my other reply... congrats on yours shipping so fast! I really can't believe it. I have no idea what's going on with mine. This is upsetting.

It's finally shipped!
It's currently in Shanghai, China.
yay. You'll probably have it on Thursday or Friday at the latest.
I really, really hope so! I'm trying to figure out how long it takes for it come from China to the US. If it makes it here by tonight, I'm going to be so freaking excited... haha. I think the FedEx page lags really bad or something though because it just now says it landed in Alaska at 1 pm today.
It will be here before you know it. Airplanes are really fast these days!!!
Ahh, the excitement of a switcher.
The times on FedEx's page are always local times. So it landed at 1pm Alaska time, which is like 6PM Eastern time.
True, I didn't think about that. Guess I was just getting so impatient/antsy haha. Well, now my iPod says "Int'l shipment release" and it's in Indiana. It says the delivery date is set for Thursday at 12, but I was expecting much sooner... like, tomorrow. How late does FedEx usually delivery during the day? On most of the topics I've read here, a lot of users have received their orders early in the morning.
I'm still refreshing my MacBook's FedEx page and there's still no changes. Still "Picked up" @ Shanghai.

Haha, yeah! I can't believe it's tomorrow... I'm getting SO excited. At 12:30 PM it had already arrived in Memphis. Do you (or anyone else) think it'll be in Houston by today? I guess there's no chance either way that I can get it today though, huh? It'll probably just sit in Houston at the FedEx place before delivery tomorrow morning. Opinions?
And... my iPod came in at 11:30 AM this morning. It beat the estimated arrival time by 30 minutes. It's sosososo cute, I love it! I wish I had a laptop to use it with... haha.
Last minute suggestions on what to do when the MacBook comes?

Go watch some movies and relax in the sun while you are waiting for your MacBook to arrive.
ha... it's been kind of cloudy here the past few days.
Is reinstalling OS X necessary? I know a lot of people to do it to save hard drive space by getting rid the things they'll never use.
Well, doing that gets rid of things they can probably uninstall except for the printer drivers. For that, I plan on zipping them into one huge file (I heard it about about 700MB compared to 2GB) and then unzip when needed.

well if you reinstall osx you can get rid of all of the other language packs and stuff you will never use in order to save a few gigs of hard drive space.
YES! It JUST arrived!
It's finally here! YAY.
I'm off to open it!
Congrats.
Post some pictures of it.
