I'm just reading the macbook forums and there are a bunch of ppl who ordered their laptops and are so excited and anxious to get their apples... some took pictures of their box when they got it, and the opening up process and stuff :) lol

I remember when I got mine (last week) it was so awesome, i was excited as **** lol.... thank god there is an apple store about 5 minutes from my house so it was pretty much a split second decision... I just went to the store, looked at it, fell in love, and next day thought if I should get it, and picked it up, and rushed home to open it lol.... I couldnt wait a week or two like some of you guys since there is no store near you :p

anyways, I just thought I share lol

so when did you get yours? what did you get? how did you get it? :)

I got a Macbook white 2ghz from an apple store last week...
with some discounts and whatnot, I got it lowered from 1300 to 1000 :)

My newest Mac is the G4 PowerMac in my signature... It's new to me, and it has replaced my wintel desktop.. I was talking to my gf the day before I got it and was like "We should go to Toronto tomorrow.." and she asked why. I said "I want to go to CPUsed and get a new Mac".. So the next day, we did.. I hated the drive home, 2 hours with traffic being bad, knowing I have a new toy to play with in the back seat.

As soon as some one buys my gaming PC, I'm buying a new MacBook.

I'm sort of going through that today. We bought my wife a new CoreDuo Intel iMac last night and it is in the process of copying all the info from her old iMac right now. It's not even my machine and I'm excited!

my first mac was a 15 inch powerbook g4 fully loaded.. I got it a little more then a year ago.. I got it because I tried hard because I was good at video production and wanted a mac so I could edit on it like I edited on the powermacs at my school. Since I worked hard in school, my dad felt I deserved it, after talking to him why macs are better, he finally felt that I should get it, and I got it for christmas, I since have been working as a videographer started with the powerbook and one of the schools prosumer camera's, since then I have bought a powermac quad and a xl2.. mac just make everything easier... so addicting too, now I want a macbook pro.

When asked by friends how I was liking that new "Apple", cough, cough, I replied, "Actually, I'm thinking of suing them." "What? I thought you liked it.", they replied. "Suing for sleep deprivation- having so much fun with it that I was going to sleep much too late.

My newest Mac was the iBook that I got in June. I've had my iMac since March and I've fallen in love with OS X, so I decided I should get an Apple laptop. I found one on craigslist and drove down to San Francisco to pick it up. I had to park a few blocks away and I remember feeling really excited as I walked down the street. Then after I bought it and I was walking back to my car some people were looking at me funny as I carried the iBook box. :)

The iMac involved a bit of a wait though. My PC died on my birthday and I decided to get a Mac. Since I wanted to get it with the upgraded video card and 1GB of RAM I had to order it online. It took a little under a week to get here, but it seemed longer. UPS came less than an hour before I had to go to work, so I didn't really get to play with it that much. So all night I was really anxious to get home and play with it. :)

I remember it like it was a month ago. I was refreshing the FedEX page every 30 seconds waiting for some kind of change. On the big day I woke up early and was looking out the front window every minute hoping to see the truck as soon as it pulled up. It was driving my roommate mad :D
