don't forget engadget but gizmodo will be better because brian lam knows how to work his camera

I dont trust gizmodo, they might turn off the macs and unplug the demos/projecter and mess everything up.

They are filled with bunch of young, 18-24 year old wanna be techs that dont deserve to be invited to ANY tech event ever again,

Well I'm not sure about how soon ONE can purchase the new notebooks, but I'm pretty sure EVERYONE can purchase them that day. I would assume Tuesday would be the soonest but nobody can be sure until they are actually announced.

Sorry for the sarcastic remark, but I just can't understand why everyone is writing like that now. "When is the soonest ONE can purchase the new notebooks" or "if the notebooks are announced tuesday, when can SAID notebooks be expected to be on sale"... it drives me crazy that everyone writes like this now for some unknown reason. It's just a pet peeve of mine after reading a ton of posts on this forum and you just happen to be the person I'm responding to. No offense to you, I'm just wondering why this is the new trend now.

...the "new trend"?? It's called British English, my friend, and predates both of us by a few centuries.

Pardon the "sass", too. I'm a (wannabe) linguist, I can't help it. :o
