Then I'm staying on! Only four more months ... or was it five? Or six? Or ... never mind! As Linus said waiting for his blanket to finish drying "Life is a lonely vigil".
Got a tip for us?

After taking the slow boat out of Shanghai my 17" high res Penryn MBP is officially on Merican ( Thats Texan for American) soil. Yee-Haw. It's now in Tenn. and should be on my doorstep by Mon. or Tues.
How the heck did you manage that?? I ordered mine that same morning they came out and mine hasn't been shipped yet... :/
I ordered a HR 17'' Glossy w/ a 7200rpm 200Gb hdd... Don't know what's stalling it but it's driving me nuts!! :/

Nope they dedicated a whole forum to you gloss overs:
Post here if you ordered a 17" MBP Penryn hi-res GLOSSY (the name of the Thread) you may now lament with others Hi Res Glossy
I posted on that page before realizing the Glossy part of the forum. Why did you choose Glossy over Matte? I do quite a bit of Photography so Matte works out better for me.
Having worked with Matte all my life I fell in love with Glossy after using for a few times! I won't argue about one being better than the other, but they are different and taste is a big decision factor!
Apparently the HR Glossys are taking a looooong time to ship

As an artist, I was recommended to stick with a matte screen over glossy by some of the Genius Bar guys - more accurate color. BTW ... this is the thread that just won't die!!!
