hi guys,
ordered my macbook yesterday for delivery tomorrow or the day after, should be when the 4gb ram is arriving too
anyway, wanted to give a heads up about delivery times, i initially ordered a macbook with the mini-dvi to vga adaptor ticked on the mac spec, also ordered an apple keyboard... this was due to be delivered first week in december
i then had a thought... cancelled this order then put it through with the macbook added to the basket on its own, along with the keyboard again and the dvi adapter added as a separate item... the delivery estimate then got bought forward to the next few days due to this separation
bought the mini-dvi to vga from the apple site, and the mini-dvi to dvi from play.com since the apple shop was showing a 1-2 week lead time (I wanted both cuz i want the DVI for going to my 22" monitor and the VGA for my LCD telly downstairs...)
so all in all - can't wait - oh and i got the 14% HE discount too, and due to me being vat registered the 2.2GHz macbook, 4gig of RAM, keyboard and 2 DVI adapters has cost me £737 all in all 
this is tax deductable too so the actual cost to me is gonna be around £570 - bargain of the century!!!
moral of the story... unless you really need otherwise, add the macbook to the basket with its off-the-shelf spec and do the upgrades yourself
