So who got a Mac mini on Saturday?


Recommended Posts

So Saturday, January 22, 2005, I went to the Apple store early (found out it was going to open at 8:30 am). Got there alittle after 8:00 am to find a line of about 30 to 50 people.

Stood in line for the next 30 minutes, eavesdrop on several people who were on vacation who needed to buy one today or wanted to get the Ipod shuffle.

Doors open the Apple sales people greeted us by clapping. People scattered to view products, some people scatterred to view the Mac mini. Still was at least 20 people stood in line to talk to the cashier.

While waiting in line found out that all Ipod shuffles were sold out prior to today (a 3 to 4 week wait).

The person in front of me wanted a 1.2 Mac mini sold out! I wanted a 1.4 Mac mini....sold out!

Left disappointed, Im not even sure if they even had any in stock. The Apple guys could have at least put a sign up saying all Mac minis are sold out, preorder only.

So I went to CompUSA, they had one 1.2 Mac mini and all 1.4 Mac minis were sold out. :(

So who got one on Saturday?

I knew I would get some jerk leading me to the Apple website. Since Im new to the Apple world I wanted to test one first before I "waste" my money on a Apple product.

Of course some people might like to buy a computer without trying it out but I guess they do that for cars and any other electronic devices.

Now lets get back to my question.

Got mine from here: Mini Mac 1.42GHz

Hopefully got shipped out today but havent heard from the seller, since the congratulations on winning the auction and cost of postage to the UK. So hopefully will hear something tonight (i forget about the time difference).

Ordered my keyboard and mouse from the Apple Store and they got dispatched today :)

Already have my 20" Apple display and it is sweet!! so role on getting my Mac mini here asap!!

Total cost of Mac Mini - ?360 posted:))

Did you bother to test the model on display at the Apple store? You can do that first and then decide whether you want to order from the online Apple Store or not.

Pretty much my thought. I've spent hours at the Store using the iMac G5 and PowerBooks. It's really helped me decide to get a Mac.

i ordered one from apple.ca but yesterday i went to see if i could get one early and they didnt have any (no ads about the mac mini and ipod shuffle) but then its not an apple store (london drugs is the only place where u can buy a mac in this town)

You buy Macs at a drugstore in Canada? Bizarre.

I ordered one on the day they launched. 1.42Ghz, 512Mb, 80Gb, AE+BT, Wireless KBoard + Mouse.

Bloody Apple have pushed back the ship by date to 11th February tho. And its **** like this that I cant wait for

Apple is most likely filling the orders of stock machines first, then customized ones (like yours).

    • The problem isn't with Epic, it's with the platform holders like Steam and Nintendo, they should be a lot more strict in their review process.

    • Microsoft updates Visual Studio Code with easier language model discovery and in-app search by Paul Hill Microsoft has released Visual Studio Code 1.125, its latest weekly release. This week, the company has focused on discovering and installing extra language models via the Marketplace; searching the web and securely browsing over remote connections without leaving VS Code; choosing how long VS Code waits before installing extension updates; and delivering managed Copilot settings through existing device management tooling. In older versions of VS Code, extensions could contribute their own model providers, but to find these extensions, you needed the right tags to search for in the Extension view. Now, the Language Models editor gives you an Install Model Providers button that opens the Extensions view, which is filtered to extensions that contribute model providers, making it easier to find and install them. Once you install a provider, its model will appear in the model picker. If you use the integrated browser much, you can now look up information without leaving VS Code by typing a query into the integrated browser’s address bar. It will use your configured search engine, the same way a standalone browser does. You can use workbench.browser.searchEngine to pick a search engine. When the browser is opened in a remote workspace, it's now possible to proxy HTTP(S) traffic via the remote connection. This allows you to connect to any ports or services that can only be accessed from the remote machine. If you read our coverage from two weeks ago about VS Code 1.123, you might have seen that extension updates have a two-hour delay as a safety measure. In this update, Microsoft is giving you the ability to configure the time of the delay. You can find it under extensions.autoUpdateDelay. Finally, with this update, admins can deliver managed GitHub Copilot settings through native device management (MDM) channels on Windows and macOS, in addition to account-based enterprise settings files. Settings delivered via MDM appear as policy-enforced in VS Code and can’t be overridden locally. Future updates will extend the supported policy keys across Copilot surfaces. You can download the update from the Visual Studio Code website now.
