Hey KJ,

Yeah right at 6 am East Coast time they went live with available. They were there for well over an hour when I finally decided to get some sleep. Would have been around 7:30 am or so. I posted to the list asap in hopes that someone here that's interested would be able to get one. Three of my friends and I were able to successfully order one. Total price to CA with tax, shipping and recycle fee: $216.59. Incredible price for that computer - and it has the newer LED 1024x600 screen.

Best Buy has allocated 10 of the XP and 6 of the Seven units to each store for people that want to camp out tonight and be there at 5 am when they open the doors. I've heard that at 3 am they will walk the line and hand out vouchers, although I expect to get one of these you would have to get in line pretty early today.

My friend and I managed to snag the last two tickets, and they charged us $50 more because they had "optimized it", meaning they removed some of the spamware that came with the system and installed Windows Updates. Psh, right, charging me $50 for something I could easily do in 10 minutes!

Well, I can't complain too much, I guess: The total before discounts would've been $388. Now I just need to tweak the hell outta this baby.

I'm afraid you'll have to be the one telling me that, since I'll be sticking with my stock XP, with a couple of tweaks.

Hey Guys,

There are some tried and true ways to go about this. I would for now say stick with Leopard while people figure out Snow Leopard. 10.5.8 is very stable and doable for now. Once the kexts get worked out for 10.6 make the jump.
