Oh goody, me mum's new machine will be here soon... Now, will the Mini have an adapter for the Mini Cooper?
 
Wow, they're shipping early. Very un-Apple like. I read today that the iPod Shuffle has a 4 week wait.
 
I wonder how many of those are bog-standard units and how many are BTOs. I plan to buy a 1.42GHz/80GB model with SuperDrive, AirportExtreme and Bluetooth. I look forward to hearing other people's experiences with the machines.
 
Apple made me mad. I ordered within 30 mins of the store coming back up (BTO, Superdrive and BT). I called the NEXT DAY to up it to 512RAM. The genious on the phone CANCELLED my previous order (due to arrive on Jan 22) and entered a whole new one, with the upped memory. Now it says its shipping on or before Feb 10th...

GRR....

Mine is BTO and it shipped earlier today. 512mb/80gb/AE/BT/1.25GHz
 
Shipping before a release date ... bizarro apple world. But it is making people notice ... 21 positves and 0 negatives

As soon as I see it in the stores then I will believe it 😉
 
Congrats to those who got em. Me? The wait continues til the release of Tiger. There is something just yummy about Tiger and a Mini. 😀 Now if only Apple would release their 17" G5 PowerBook. 😉 😀


Patience may be a virtue. Its also a PITA. 😛

Well, at least now we know who the genios, err, genius is who rated this as negative! 😉 jk

This is very fast shipping for a new Apple product. The end is nigh!
 
Ooo goody! I hope this means iWork is now shipping! (I have no need for a Mac Mini)

UPDATE: Nevermind, Order status shows it as still Open and shipping on or before Jan. 21st
 
Good to see that they are on time/early. It will be interesting to see how supply and demand work out here.
 
My 'lunch box'

Looks like the Mac lunch box is shipping nicely along now... good to see volume ready so soon after an announcement rather than the enternal wait... in our part of the globe - ie too small to notice is generally takes a couple of months for product to get here...

Just wish Apple would hurry up and finish Tiger... getting sick of waiting for the new thingamagiggs.... 😡
