The iBook has landed
After touring the Far East and western Europe for an aeon, my 12″ iBook finally arrived this morning (possibly some sort of telepathy on Apple’s part, as I was going to cancel the order if it hadn’t turned up by Monday). Anyway, I’ll save my grumbles about Apple’s poor choice of shipping companies and crap order tracking system for another day. My iBook is here, and I love it.
I’ve also got a McBain’s Baby bag to put it in, and the extra RAM and a two-button mouse are on order, as is another network cable (the only spare one I had was 30 metres long, which does seem a little silly with the iBook sat about 50cm away from my router).
Apart from a few bits of software, the only thing I really need now is a new chair. I’m currently sat on an old folding wooden chair, as one of my new cats has decided that my office chair is the most comfortable place to relax… I’m such a soft touch. Still, can’t really blame Apple for that.
the same thing is happening to me mines is 5 days late i was going to cancel but since i heard you eventually got yours i will just leave it

In case you don’t know, if it’s being shipped from Apple’s factory using Kuehne-Nagel, you can keep track of it via this site. Mine landed in Luxembourg on the Saturday, but didn’t get to TNT’s depot in Eindhoven until the Thursday, at which point it showed up on TNT’s tracking system. TNT delivered it to me in London the following morning.
