hey toadie...i lived in rockville for a year when i was just out of college....i thought they had an apple store in the white marsh mall out there (or whatever the name of that fancy, expensive mall is out there...of course it may not be fancy anymore...it has been many years since i lived there...pre-marriage, so about 18 years ago)...have you gone to that apple store?? hope to see your pictures soon...g
reading all these posts i am amazed how quickly i got my iMac....
Transfering files now. Got most transfered via target mode (from iBook)....transfering from old G3 beige tower will be a chore (no firewire)...too many MP3's I'm doing the iMac dance. Well worth the wait.

Indeed. You got your iMac before any apple specialist even had a display model in Canada, UK or Australia(To my knowledge). Apple Canada(who distributes to everyone else) has received 0 iMacs and has no ETA of when they will get anything. At this point, even those who ordered right away may not get one until March(wasn't that when the low end systems were supposed to arrive?).
The apple specialist here is doing an iMac seminar on the weekend without an iMac... I guess they will show pictures of it.

Pennsylvania...Canada....it's all the same....cold, lots of trees and people eat funny food combinations (fries with mayo in canada and scrambled eggs and ketshup in Pa....freaked me out the first time i saw eggs and ketshup together...a bad color combination is nothing else)....but yes, i hope Macintosh can join the club soon too....g
IT'S BEEN THREE DAYS AND MY IMAC HAS NOT LEFT TAIWAN. ACTUALLY, ON WEDNESDAY IT SAID "ALASKA" BUT THURSDAY IT SAID TAIWAN AGAIN. ALL MENTION OF ALASKA WAS GONE!!! I THINK THEY DROPPED MY IMAC INTO THE OCEAN AND HAD TO SEND FOR ANOTHER ONE!!!! GEEZ LOUISE!

Yikes....HP315 camera is on the fritz...Ican't share my setup...yet. I'll go to BestBuy and exchange it out tomrrow. good night all. Well...I'll probably be up awhile. but you know what I mean.
I've been reading this thread since it started... I'm also eagerly awaiting my iMac, though I didn't order until 1/15...
I feel sorry for Macintosh, that his hasn't shipped... Everyday I check my email hoping mine will ship soon... It's been three weeks as of this last Tuesday...

Completely off-topic: Gelding, since Toadie hasn't answered yet, I think the closest mall to Rockville that has an Apple Store is Tysons Corner in McLean, VA. Not THAT far from Rockville. White Marsh Mall is northeast of Baltimore, in White Marsh. I used to lived about 5 miles from there many years ago, when it was nothing but woods and dinosaurs. The mall is big, but no Apple Store.
Taq...congratulations on getting your machine! I got mine last Monday, 2/4. That makes two of us from Texas, that I know of.

Gelding whats wrong with that? Over here in Blighty we like whats known as "The Full English" It consists of Bacon, Sausages, Scrambled Eggs, Baked Beans, Grilled Tomatoes, Mushrooms, Toast, Fried Bread & of course a jolly Old English Cup of Tea. Then you smother the whole lot with good o'l Heinz Ketchup. Also Fries in a pitta bread with mayo is delicious.mmmmmm
Macintosh keep yer head up at least you don't have to wait til 1st March for your new iMac. That'll be like 6 weeks from order before I get mine
At least yours is still in a civilized par t of the world and not lost in New Jersey</strong><hr></blockquote>
hey cubit! lol--oh the horrors your poor imac must be enduring in NJ! if you get your computer before me, i'll be real pissed (at fed ex, of course) since we both live in downstate NY and ours imacs left the factory on the same day. i just checked again and its finally in alaska now...in the company of mooses. the fed ex tracking page said my imac was "cleared by customs after plane departed." now thats real smart, aint it?

Of course, the problem is that my iMac is the Mailroom in New Jersey, and I am in Manhattan until Monday! ARRGHHH! <img src="graemlins/lol.gif" border="0" alt="[Laughing]" />
My first Mac was delivered this morning. I've got a 15 minute comute to work. Just as I was walking into the office, my wife called to say it had been delivered! Damn if I had hung around I could have had a sick day. Oh well at least I have the weekend to figure out this crazy new mac and bulldoze my old PC.
p.s. ordered the stock 800Mhz/Superdrive/256Megs on 1/10

I'm dying of envy, especially since I am now back at home and have to wait until at least tomorrow AM for something tantalizingly close.
So tell us all aobut the beauty, or share it on the other thread!
ps welcome to the club...hopefully our canadian friends can join soon....g
<strong>congrats Taq...enjoy and post photos when you can....g
