I decided I’d give Apple a call today to see what they could do about the shipping on my Mac Mini - it was expected to ship on the 22nd and be delivered by 28th. Much to the delight of myself, the Apple guy said that because I live in Sydney, I’d most probably receive it on the 23rd. Okay I was thinking - Apple is giving me a birthday present on my birthday!
This wasn’t the case. Much to the delight of myself I noticed after I came home from work that I had an email stating “Shipment notification for order # 7033747490″. First I thought this was spam as there were no tell tale signs of it being from Apple. A quick check of the mail headers which showed it was from Apple and I decided the attachment was safe.
So now i’m looking at something like below on the Apple site, with the date of arrival the 23rd - but it should be here by Monday due to my close proximity. The tracking number isn’t up at Star Track however, so we’ll see.
Can’t wait.

Omg, I’m so jealous! Macs are so hot, but they are a lot more expensive than PC’s to get a good one, thats why I generally have not purchased one. Apples shipping is usually always off or sooner than expected, my iPod was supposed to take 12 days to arrive, it only took 6 :p, then again, im in USA, but still…
Lemme know how the mac works out!

You can now replace your PC with a Mac and still have all the benefits of a PC, http://download.onmac.net/.

Chris, you’re getting a Mac over a PC?

No thanks! Especially when people have reported problems with the fans not working correctly.
I already have several, this is just what I didn’t have!
