Aaaaaand yet another victim of google mac paranoia! My brand new, much anticipated and hard worked for dual core G5 is still languishing in the famous resort of Venray, no doubt sipping on an old fashioned with it’s fellow skiving neer-do-well mac colleagues, taking a well earned break before I put it to the slave-like music production tasks that it was placed into this world to perform. Apple in ireland reckoned it would take four days max to reach me, tha’s how long they’ve had my cash and it’s now past midnight on friday. I’ve got over 15 gig of music software and a 25 gig sample library wanting a new home; don’t these people understand the meaning of the word frustration?

Well, Well, Well…. Could we all keep sane without googling while awaiting delivery of our Macs? Ordered mine a week ago and Yep, left……Cork, went to Darlington, Darlington to Nuneaton and from there it seems now to be in Nottingham 18 miles away

SO……I’m hoping. Of course you will all have multi-lingual versions whereas my iMac Intel will probably just handle Gaelic and speak to me with a Dublin accent. Odd thing is when I ordered it from Apple London I was told 3 or 4 days. When I later checked with Ireland they told me late next week(!) But, unless it’s hanging out in Nottingham, (why WOULD it???) it should, should reach me today.

This is my fourth Mac – the first to come from Cork though. I almost feel jealous of the rest of you for the strange and exotic journeys your macs have taken but, if mine arrives today it will have taken 8 days which is pretty good. However, online the Apple store is quoting 24 hours – which shows they have a sense of humour. I trust everyone has now received their machines but even more I bet this thread refuses to die. Like my Mac I got here via Darlington.

This thread is famous!

What’s Windows XP then?

This is too funny. I was trying to figure out were my iMAC was and what all the initials stand for in the shipping manifest and found all of you musing about your APPLE computers too!
It has been great fun knowing that there are other APLLE users out there impatient for their new APPLE. It is comforting somehow to know that you can share your neurosis with others that understand
Thanks cyber-friends!

…. another googler… mine left 16th jan.. my new iMac DC Intel model was ordered at the same time and is ‘allegedly’ in the same shipment…… but it’s not mentioned in the status…. maybe it’s stopping off for the weekend and picking up its mate in Luxembourg or Netherlands .. or maybe popping over to Ireland before coming to the north east coast of england …. hmmmm

Another Google for “PARDUBICE, PA, CZ”.

Mac Mini, 1.4ghz, 1gig RAM should be on its way to Canterbury, UK via Luxemburg.

Well then. Hooray for Padrubice, Cz.
Was googling for that City since I just ordered a MacMini and this thread came up. Hope it will find its way to Germany in time for Christmas.
Hope this thread lives a long life .

Haha! Cool! Loving this thread! Waiting on my Mac Mini, googling PARDUBICE, PA, CZ. Mine, like many before me, is currently in Luxembourg. Nice work for the initial post!

Ordered my Mac Mini on 21st Nov and have been looking at the web to try and find out it’s progress. Just discovered it was made in the Czech Republic and like everybody else it has arrived in Luxemburg. As I live in Birmingham, I hope it lands soon and get’s here. Looking forward to ditching the WinXP and getting a much better, more stable unit. My partner thinks I love Apple more than her!………Maybe!?
Hope its the 1.5GHz with 64Mb VRAM – Fingers crossed.

Hi there!

I didn’t think there was a kind of community of anxious future mac mini owners.
Mine has just left PARDUBICE, PA, CZ as well, and as all of you, I wanted to find out where that place is. I live in Germany, so I’m quite curious which route my Mac mini chooses to get to me, but I hope it does not take another week!
Apple has my money for 1 1/2 weeks now.
Plus my mighty mouse/keyboard bundle probably takes another route as it is shipped by a different shipping company. So it’s a race what comes first….

But as it sounds its worth the wait

I too have found this site looking googling for “PARDUBICE, PA, CZ”.
My shipment has only just been picked up.

Hope its not a long wait to get my mini from there to Manchester.
