    Maybe I already knew this. UPS or Fedex tracking system is always messy and delayed.

    But I've been starring at the tracking page every 30 min. lol

    So it looks like it is an error or bug on the system... I hope someone agree with me.

    The Mississauga reference is due to internal processing, not because your package went from Anchorage, to Mississauga and back.. It just left Anchorage......sorry.

    I'm sorry to say, but it's going back to Alaska, The polar bears no longer have ice to play on, so they are going to play with your Mac instead.

    actually they were playing with it while it was there, and when it got to Canada, they noticed the bears spilled their coke on it, so its going back for repairs.

    lol guys.

    I got some updates.

    Today it's the day it supposes to arrive now on estimated delivery: September 17, 2010 at 12pm. Now it is 12:30pm. lol

    The status still shows as:

    Sep 17, 2010 7:09 AM
    MISSISSAUGA, ON
    Clearance in progress

    Designation is Montreal! Where it is now? LOL

    I am expecting to see "Out for Delivery" today AM but now it's noon. There isn't any "Out for Delivery" status...

    I don't want to wait over the long weekend and this is expedited shipping I paid $23 for it.

    Complain to Apple, they might refund your shipping, I think I've heard of that happening before.

    The custom MacBook Pro I ordered here is the spec if you are keeping ears on this.

    MacBook Pro 15 inch
    Intel Core i7 2.66Ghz
    4GB DDR3 1066Mhz 2x2gb DIMM
    500GB HDD @7200RPM
    512MB NVIDIA 330M GT
    Hi-Res Antiglare Widescreen Display

    Underline one are the custom. I did not max out other options. They are overprice when I see it. lol $420 for 8GB... I can find 8GB kits for $200 USD and I can resell the 4GB kits out for $100 or less.

    High Res Antiglare was my option, I don't care how ugly it looks. But it's the best option for those who works in design and prints. Pure gamut colors and etc. ++ I can save more energy for lowering the brightness all the way down to the bottom without to deal with screen glare issue.

    No softwares pre-install... of course... you know... I can purchase Adobe Master Creative Suite 5 with 80% off Student license =D. Yes, instead of paying $2600 for the softwares. I'm paying $600 for Master CS5.

    Total cost for the notebook with tax is around $2550... I just killed my wallet.

    hey man,

    great i specs I'd have to say. Im sure its going to be worth your pay. I am planning on buyign mine around next month and am sure its going to be coming to this amount. I am a bit befuddled when it comes to choosing the screen. I mean what made you decide to go for the matte anti glare option rather than the glossy one? Oh and please do let me know how it runs on the first day. you must be uber excited and I want to join in on that :D...(yh its that sad)

    if they got some competition, their prices would plummet fast, and they'd still be in business.

    Like VMWare selling licenses for hundreds of dollars, then they announced they were going to make a Mac version, it was going to be hundreds as well, but Parallels beat them to the punch, so when Fusion was released, it was the exact same price as parallels, and VMWare started dropping many prices.

    Adobe charges that much just because they can... not because they need to. Those execs do need their 3rd mansions and 2nd private jets pretty soon though, so you can't expect them to drop it too much.

    Yeah, someone need to step up but most jobs are now sticking with Adobe.. pretty much everywhere.
