Yep, you are lucky. I got up at 2:30 Eastern to be ready. I had my iMac up and ready, with my watch marked as a favorite, and my iPad by my side running the Apple Store App as a backup. At 3:01, the site wouldn't work for me at all, and neither would the app. I felt "lucky" to get my order placed at 3:08, and even so my black SS has a generic ship date of "June," without even a day range. Clearly there never were any available for launch day. A few people did somehow manage to get May dates. They are the lucky ones.

Everything is relative, my friend! :)



It was nice to see your post! Makes me feel a little better about getting that May 13 - May 27 delivery window. As my mother used to say, about circumstances, it could always be worse. ;)

Ha! Very true. Normally that doesn't make me feel better, but in this case there were definitely degrees of luck.

People who focus on the positive are much happier than those who don't. Perhaps that's what that statement was intended to mean, after all.
