Duff-Man says...why not just walk into your local Apple Store or reseller and buy? Some people like to buy from a mail-order place to avoid sales taxes (you don't say where you are located so I don't know what that situation is for you)..MacMall, Macconnection, CDW etc...all reputable dealers. while $$ is always a concern, it is somehow nice (for me anyway) to just walk in, plunk down the credit card and walk out with my new toy....and it is good to support your local dealers too...keep that local economy rolling along....oh yeah!
