    Well, that's on schedule with what Steve Jobs said.

    I'd like to see more photos and first looks from this notebook before making any further judgement :).

    I'd like to see an optical drive and at least one more USB port before making any further judgement! [​IMG]

    Don't worry about it Rob it's on the house. Since Apple is gouging all the new MBA owners there is plenty of money left to send you one free gratis. :D

    Sorry Sam but it would bankrupt Apple to ship the Macbook Aircraft to Canada due to CA customs fees.

    That's mine - you were too slow this time, Sam! :D

    You know, the bottom of that machine seems very rounded; it'll probably rock as a user types. I'm gonna need pills to keep me from becoming seasick.

    I've attached a couple more product shots of the MBAircraft. Good thing Apple dropped the "Computers" from its name.

    Wow, now I'm really eager for the machine's arrival! Will Steve's little friend will be available for tutoring? And have I mentioned that I really like purple? :D
