Yeah, probably sometime over the weekend :D I plan on doing the clean erase/install option. Oh, almost forgot, I get a brand new Apple store 8 miles from my home. It will be store #200 in Gilbert, AZ and will open at the same time of the Leopard launch :thumbup:.

Apple pulled all of their MagSafe power equipment from the shelves, saying redesigned connectors are due later this month. Should I not leave the laptop plugged in overnight?
Thanks!

Hey True, where did you get your info. on the mag safe? Do you have a link? I believe what you are referring to is a very isolated and possibly outdated issue.

As far as cleaning goes, I use Home Depot's Zap alcohol based aerosol foam glass cleaner and a good Wayne's microfiber towell. I spray the towell lightly then wipe her down for a perfect cleaning every time :).

And it's only a mile from my house! :nanana:

You already have an Apple store in Chandler a few miles from you. ;)

True, but this one will be the new layout with lots of stainless steel, free standing solid wood tables etc... Are you going to the Grand Opening Friday evening?

I will probably go check it out early evening Friday. I went to the Chandler Fashion grand opening several years ago and it was a freakin madhouse. No place to park and absolutely crammed with people throughout the mall. On the plus side, got free Chipotle burritos for the whole family plus several coupons for more free ones so it was worth the effort fighting the crowd.

San Tan Village will probably be just as packed. The sneak peak preview is Thursday night for the mall, but not sure if the Apple store is participating. I'll wait until Friday, how about you?

I saw that, he made it soud like it was something current, and that all product had been pulled from the shelves.
