Right after the new MacBook Pros got announced last week, I placed my order with a custom configuration (2.8 GHz and 320 GB 7200 RPM drive). I received a notice that it shipped on October 18. Now UPS tells me that my computer missed its flight “THE SCHEDULED FLIGHT WAS CANCELED DUE TO CIRCUMSTANCES BEYOND UPS CONTROL”. Then later it said that it caught another flight and was in Japan. I just checked and apparently that information was wrong as my computer is still stuck in China. Maybe it wanted democracy or didn’t like all the human rights violations so China kept it. Hopefully the machine will get here next week as the suspense is killing me.
