I have very little patience when it comes to ordering things online. It might be because of TigerDirects super awesome shipping seeing as they have a warehouse in Chicago. 99% of the time I get my orders the next day using regular shipping so I am a happy camper.
What have I bought that is making me crazy now? I bought a MacBook Pro from Apple. Thats right, I have moved to the dark side. I might consider beeing a little more patient as it says its “custom configured” but all they have to do is throw on a glossy screen instead of the anti glare screen. I have replaced laptop screens in a matter of 10 minutes (that was the first time I ever did it). I ordered at 7a.m. yesterday and had it been through TigerDirect I would already have it, or at least have the tracking number.
On the upside I did get a $200 discount for working at a K-12 school. After taxes and all that mumbo jumbo it still came out to less than $2,000. Once I recoupe some of the cost of the laptop I will be buying some mac memory from NewEgg to boost it up to 4GB of ram.
Also, I just received (about 2 minutes ago) an email saying my copy of Vista Ultimate is being shipped and should be here before May 2nd. I will probably through that on my Mac with BootCamp for those times when Windows is necessary.
