Here's a cool story. I LIVE in China. But, in case you didn't know, if you order a Mac through the US Apple Website, you must ship it to a US address. Yeah, so, I shipped my MacBook to my mom who lives in South Carolina. She's planning to visit me in China 2 weeks from now, and will bring my new computer as a carry-on item. As I was tracking the package, I noticed that it was in Shanghai. I couldn't believe it could really be in CHINA!! So close to home! I immediately checked for a Shanghai, Connecticut as many of you did. But it really is in China! Why wait another 2 weeks for my computer, when it's in a nearby Chinese city. I called FedEx to ask them if I could change the destination address. They said they couldn't do that; only the sender (aka, Apple), could do that. Another phone call to Apple got me no where. They said that for security reasons, they wouldn't change the address once the computer had been shipped. Now, the computer will leave China, to go to America, only to come back to China again! I will wait impatiently for the next two weeks and my mom will have an extra 5 lbs to lug along with her across the world. It's kinda funny, actually. Don't misunderstand my tone.
