My Name is Tony and I’m a MacBook Pro Addict
Ok, to be absolutely clear I don’t actually have a MacBook Pro. I have ordered one (we’ll actually three) but I am in an agonizing queue that I cannot see the length of. Yes three. This is how bad my addiction to this beautiful machine has become. After pouring over the first reports of folks who had received shipment confirmation early, I made the assessment that some configurations were shipping sooner due to their higher cost and lower demand so in addition to my 1.83GHz order I also placed an order for a 2.0GHz and the highly overpriced 2.16GHz model hoping to increase my odds of getting one sooner. Perhaps even more shocking behavior is that I’ve actually gone so far as to install the bloody Yahoo messenger in the event that I might receive an update email from Apple.
I scour the forums for more info on the MacBook Pro. The Apple store at Southpoint is getting sick of my phone calls. I’m hiding my frequent order status checks from my wife. I’ve even begun checking my American Express card for authorization of funds. How did I get like this? I’m even a Windows person!
I’m a Macbook Pro addict and I need help.
Off to call the shops in NY. Screw SES panels. I need my Mac.
Dude…you’ve got it bad. I just ordered a new Sony Vie and I thought I was bad, constantly checking FedEx for an update on delivery.
I’m sick. If anyone is looking for me at SES I’ll be the guy crouched in the corner with nervous ticks and talking to himself.
Whoohoo! Well done, dude! Welcome to the club
I wish I were officially in the club. I’m about to hop a plane to Cupertino and demand my Macbook Pro!
Man, you can’t actually use three!!
Two yes – one for office and one at home, but three, no.
So in that case I think you should give your third one to me.
Mike I’ll gladly sell you the third for just a 20% waiting fee. A friend inside Apple tells me they had a backorder of 1 million units to fill. 20% is a bargain! Hhehehhee
Update: I played with a demo unit in Durham yesterday. It didn’t help my nervous tick.
So did you ever get the MBP? I have the 2.0 CD, 15″, 2gb, 256vram, and 200gb HD. And lemme tell you, I LOVE IT! Absolutely love it.
Yes I did get a Macbook Pro and I love it too! I can’t wait for the new version to release with the screens that use less battery power. I’m definitely buying another with a 200GB hard drive.

ok, that is THE COOLEST thing i have ever heard of!i just bought a g3 because i am 14 and my parents gave me a budget a 400 dollars, i got a really good deal. anyway, i have been bitten by the mac bug at an early age!
I agree with BJ!! I’m only 14 and 4 months and I have a major obsession with Mac! I really want one, or even just Mac OS X 10 will do!!! I hate Windows always have and always will, I jsut love MAC!!! I REALLY NEED ONE!
Cheers!

Man.. 3!?!? U’r weird.. I mean, you are getting another one (or you already have one..) with a new screen and HDD.. COME ON!! Aren’t you satisfied with a 2.16 Ghz one!? Omg, I’ll have to beg my parents for something like that..
I m getting a 2.4Ghz MBP this week wooohoooooo…………
This mac bugs contagious (altho i ve had it for 15years) never really goes away
Windows just doesnt cut it. Tiger/Leopard all the way.
