Well, I decided I've had enough of screwing around trying to find a superseded MacBook and decided to buy a bottom-of-the-range new one with educational discount. At least I know it'll be the latest (for now) and it's completely brand new... Now, the dilemma with this was trying to actually find one that I could buy. See, Apple only allow certain resellers to sell products with the edumacationaliseded discount so I looked up a list of them in Brisbane on the Apple website and did some ringing around this morning. Turns out after about half a dozen stores, there was no Apple educational reseller with one in stock. A few told me that they had the mid-range model in stock but for another few hundred dollars, I wasn't keen. I'm already stretching it as is to buy the bottom-of-the-range one. I was also told there's a shipment of ... I think it was somewhere over 1000 coming into the country tomorrow. Tomorrow just wasn't good enough though, I wanted it TODAY! There is a reason for that, I'm not just stuck-up :P I had some spare time today and was already going to TAFE which happens to be at Southbank which then happens to be near the city. The city is where most of the Apple educational resellers seem to be based. Makes sense now eh? Well, maybe not completely... I won't have any spare time again AND be near the city until Thursday. Thursday might not seem that far away but most resellers were telling me it won't be available until Friday or possibly Monday... Anyway, I decided I'd just order online from the Apple store. This way it gets delivered to my door and I don't have to worry about when I have spare time and can make it to the city. According to my order, it's supposed to arrive sometime in the next few days :) It's already been prepared for shipping :D I'm loving it :D!!!
