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).

    • Rockstar confirms Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders begin next week, unveils cover art by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The release date of Grand Theft Auto VI has moved quite a lot since its original announcement in 2023, but it finally looks like the game has found its final launch slot. Rockstar today had a new video upload on its YouTube channel, and while it wasn't a new trailer for the game, the company revealed two things. This was the pre-order kickoff date for Grand Theft Auto VI as well as the game's official cover art. The company revealed that June 25 is when fans of the series will be able to pre-order their copy of Grand Theft Auto VI. Pre-orders will be available both digitally and in retail stores. The newly unveiled cover art shows off the two new protagonists, as well as a few more characters that are probably vital to the campaign storyline. Shots of vehicles players can use like a light helicopter, motorcycle, sports car, and speed boat are also seen here, alongside a shot of a crocodile. "Jason and Lucia have always known the deck is stacked against them," says Rockstar describing the campaign's protagonist duo. "But when an easy score goes wrong, they find themselves on the darkest side of the sunniest place in America, in the middle of a conspiracy stretching across the state of Leonida — forced to rely on each other more than ever if they want to make it out alive." Grand Theft Auto VI is coming to Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 on November 19, 2026. A PC version has not been confirmed yet, though it's expected by many to land after the console release. When asked about this, the Take-Two CEO says it considers the core audience for the Grand Theft Auto franchise to be on consoles.
    • In rare occasions when you turn your computer on you will be greeted with a Secure Boot error followed by the message "No boot device found" If you go into the UEFI and disable Secure Boot the system boots up just fine. Below is a method I found online to fix the issue Disable Secure Boot and boot into Windows (If Bitlocker is enable you'll have to go to https://aka.ms/myrecoverykey on another device to find your bitlocker recovery key). Find a flash drive and make sure it's formatted Fat32 Create a folder on the flash drive called EFI and a subfolder inside EFI called BOOT On your computer navigate to C:\windows\boot\EFI Copy the file SecureBootRecovery.efi to your flash drive\EFI\BOOT Now reboot the computer and tell the computer to boot off that flash drive. You should see a black screen with some text telling you it has repaired Secure Boot Turn Secure Boot back on and reboot and your computer should boot normally.
