See part I July 25th - August 2nd # After ordering, I received two emails from Apple, confirming the order. It took 3 days until the order finally got shipped from China (where else, of course) on Friday, July 28th and the estimate for delivery was 5-8 business days. I have received the tracking number and was able to track how my Macbook was moving around the globe: starting from Shizou, China on 28th, arriving to USA, Anchorage, Alaska one day later. One more day and it showed up in Memphis, Tennessee. That was on July 30th. It seemed to stuck there for over 2 days and then, without any interim stops it showed up on August 2nd in Ottawa Fedex location. I have just arrived to customer place in the morning and saw the news on Fedex Tracking page (dutifully bookmarked and checked every few hours )…

Just stumbled upon this blog and noted at least three things of interest: he has got a new a Mac Pro (I am green with envy :-) ) uses as a nick nice wordplay on MacGyver (this name has special meaning for all us, ex-Montage folks) he started to learn Objective C and Cocoa and blogs about it, I am curious - (not that I plan to give up Java, C# and Python ..) Also see his list of recommended (mostly) free Mac applications. Going to try out some of them for sure !
