Please stay on-topic, informative and polite. I reserve the right to remove comments for whatever vague capricious reasons seem reasonable at the time.

At just about the point that you've resigned yourself to the fact that it's never going to arrive. Just like mine did a couple of days ago!

I had the same thing with my Wireless kb and mouse. They were shipped to Luxembourg! (and that's the wrong way)

I'm feeling for you -- mine just left for repair two days ago. I've been staring at the clock ever since. Best of luck getting your machine (is it even fair to call them machines?) back in the very near future.

Guessing that the silence indicates your baby has arrived?

If it's anything like the experience that I - and my commenters - have had with various delivery companies, it will make a nice Christmas/Festering (Delete as appropriate) present

It's here! I'm salivating over it as we speak. I love you, baby! I'll never leave you alone again. I promise...

While I'm everso glad it's arrived, I must admit that I could help slightly hoping that it would prove to be Apple's own version of it3c.co.uk, featuring regular updates about how your delivery was stranded outside Leamington Spa sorting office by a horde of marauding wildebeest. Or something.

I'm insanely jealous. In my world this isn't fair. In the real world, you work hard and so can buy nice things, but in my world this really sucks.

/me wants a powerbook soo much.
