I checked it at around 7am NY time this morning and it just said the 23rd for delivery. I called apple and they said that it was still scheduled with them for shipment on the 20th. I also spoke to a fedex delivery man and he said that shipments from China are usually pretty fast and that there is no reason that we wont have it by friday. I think it just depends on the customs process. Keep your fingers crossed!
Thanks! at this point yes, all 20 fingers crossed to get it by friday... what a bunch of geeks we are, looking forward to get the new machine before the weekend so we spend it sitting in front of it, like we don't do that for the rest of our lives! LOL! but well if i get it by friday it will prevent spending more money on alcohol!
