I drove to Oklahoma City to visit the Apple Store. The trip there was long and hot about 3 hours from the Fort Smith area. I wanted to see one of the new Mac Pros and they had some. No 3.0's, just the 2.66's.
It looked quite nice sitting there hooked to a 30" monitor so i told the guy i want one with 2 gig of ram as the 1 gig it comes with is not enough. You need ram in the first 4 slots for best operation... first thing he tells me is they do not stock ram for the Mac Pros, it has to be ordered. After 15 minutes of stumbling around they finally figure out they can indeed order it for me to be shipped to my house...In about 2 to 3 weeks!!!
By that time i was ticked off enough i just let the 2nd optical superdrive i wanted slide figuring i would also order that online when i got home...no way Jose, it is not user installable!! so now i don't have the second drive!! and to top it off i got caught in a pouring rain, lightning, high wind, hail storm on the way home...Oh, did i mention i was on a motorcycle??...(G)
But here i sit with a spankin new Mac Pro, short on ram that will take 3 weeks to get and short on superdrive....so i am not exactly an Apple Store fan at the moment, but i do love my new Mac Pro!!
