A Series of Tubes

I’m watching the shipping page on FedEx (practically 24/7…Look, I graduated. What do you want for nothing?!), and my MacBook (still no name yet, but someone suggested a good one…Now if only I could remember it) has officially been to more cool places than I have. It came from China (I’ve never left North America), and is now in Anchorage, Alaska (which is more Northern than I have ever been). To get here, it will have to cross the Canadian Border…That’s so cool. I envy my laptop now 😛

I have a feeling I’m going to get it on Tuesday the 27th 🙂

Grrr. For graduation I got a 15.4″ MacBook Pro, with a 100gb 5200rpm hard drive, 1gb of RAM, a Radeon x1600 Mobility, and also the 2-3 day shipping. We placed the order last night, and today Apple posted the estimated arrival date of my computer:

That’s a full week from now. A full week. And I ordered 2-3 day shipping! I can’t believe that. It’s logical, though. It ships the 23rd because they have to put together my not default model. Then there’s the weekend (nothing ships), then 3 days (to be on the safe side, they use the larger of 2 possible estimates, because it’s 2-3 day shipping), landing on the 28th. I’m going to Cape Cod on the 30th for a week, so I might only get 2 days with my baby before I have to leave it behind…

To make matters worse, my girlfriend is going to Florida tomorrow morning and she gets back during the week I’m away. I might have to bring my laptop.

Also, I need a cool name for my computer. Any ideas?
