Technically the data could come back to haunt you but only if the FBI got ahold of it and wanted to spend the time unerasing the disk. But people who worry about that also don't use ATM cards, EZ-Pay transponders, credit cards or get subscriptions to the New York Times on -line. Aluminum foil wrapped Moonbats in other words.

LOL, hadn't considered that since I don't have anything to hide.

i ordered it from the Apple store, but i am thinking of canceling if i can and just going to the local Apple Store on the day of. then again, Apple often upgrades these shipments to overnight so we get the shipment on the day it's available in the local stores. hmmmm.

I have a recent PC convert who just bought a MacBook who will be at the door of the Boylston Street Boston Apple Store at 9AM.

Ditto this -- cancelled mine when I realized the time spent waiting for delivery could be spent going into the store, getting the disk, going home, installing, and then spending the weekend doing something else ;-)

That's exactly what I thought too. Why wait for FedEX to show up when I could just go and get it when I want??

I say to those going to the Apple Store, take a video and upload it! laugh

I have to work Friday morning. It's also a 45 minute urban drive to the nearest Apple Store. I'll let FedEX handle it for me. wink
