I was told by a apple rep I'd receive the conformation email in the next 24hrs, but not promised I'd get it on the 14th even know I ordered it about 3:30 central time so 1:30 California time

Thanks for this. I guess there's naught to do but wait. While I'd be very happy to have it in my hands on the 14th, I consider that an ideal. If it shows up a couple days later that's fine. If I need to wait for weeks, that's seriously uncool, and I will be quite dissatisfied.
