It's easy to wait.

My happiness is not influenced, controlled, or impacted by any product.

I place the people in my life on a far higher plane. They are what matters to me.

Everything else is just stuff, and it's all replaceable.


Dude, lighten up... relax... have fun... getting new stuff is fun. No one is suggesting that geek toys are more important than people. Even your signature suggests you really get excited too... "A fast Mac is pure nerdvana"

LOL, it's always funny when people type something like this... CLEARLY your life has been at least influenced and impacted (maybe even controlled by) a product if you're even typing this. For this forum wouldn't exist had the iPad Mini not been released. So to say what you say, you lost all credibility in my book. Plus you come across as a complete whiner.
 
I'm so so so excited!

I used to take my iPad 2 everywhere with me so an iPad mini will be ideal. Sold my iPad 2 on Saturday though and am so lost without one. Wanting Friday to hurry uppppp.
 
I am more excited about my 64GB AT&T ipad 4 that will arrive later next month, but the mini will arrive this Friday, just to be used in the bedroom for checking email and controling the TV with XFinity.

Please! Then what are you doing here?

It does not control my life either but I do "allow" myself to get excited!
 
I'm so excited! I can't even wait. I keep watching hands on videos... sigh..

checked my status and the mini is en route. Used my phone number as a reference on UPS and it shows that I have three packages en route. I ordered two white 16 g minis and two smart covers. It looks as if the smart covers are coming in one package (which is delayed due to the hurricane) and two packages scheduled to be delivered by the end of the day on Nov 2! woohoo!

I was smart this time. I ordered my iphone 5 on launch day but like 6 hours after launch. After waiting two or three additional weeks for my iPhone 5, I set my alarm at 2:55 eastern time and ordered as soon as they were available! That's the way to do it!

The second mini is a surprise gift to my girlfriend. I'm going to let her criticize me for a few minutes about buying the mini, let her tell me she thinks its "ok" and then show her the second box waiting in the wings. haha
 
My smart cover is delayed due to Sandy. I'm expecting the Mini on Friday. If it gets delayed by the storm (currently still preparing for shipment), so be it. There are more pressing issues in my area right now. I will be happy when it arrives, but I can be patient.
