jamesrsullivan: Went to a LibertyTravel office on a whim and realized why Orbitz is worth literally 300 times as much in market cap. I'll stick with online.

I picked up the new MacBook. I have been realizing over the last few weeks that the Eee PC, though fun and little and catchy – has halved my productivity! OSX is the primary driver for getting the new computer.
It feels really sturdy. Typing on the keyboard is as sturdy as the flat aluminum keyboard that Apple produces and the trackpad is incredibly usable!
I called the Boston-area Apple Stores at 10:30 and nobody said they had them. Varying stories were told, like they weren’t sure if they’d have them or that they would have them tomorrow. Then, on the second round at 11:45, Cambridgeside Galleria confirmed they had a few. I jumped in the car with some co-workers and hauled ass through the back roads to get there. None were on display and they had to go into the back to grab the item for me. Checkout was as easy as always. Now I have the computer… Unix power + hardware support + really usable + solid feeling laptop at good weight and size.
