Well, Jamison, DHL did not lose my iBook. In fact, it arrived via FedEx right on time. However, Apple forgot to install a hard drive in the machine. So, the machine is on its way back to Apple and a replacement will be sent from the other side of the world. (The replacement can not be obtained from an Apple store since the 80Gb HD is apparently considered "customized"). This is rather uncool since I had planned to get the new iBook in ship-shape this week while I am away on Cape Cod and before classes begin again on Monday.
