Is it just me or does everyone else like receiving new stuff in the post/by courier and then looking forward to seeing how its packaged more than the actual thing itself???

In the last week or two I’ve been rather addicted to ordering stuff from the Apple Store. After the success of ordering Leopard and getting it on time, I decided it was time to try them out a bit more so, have ordered the following:

• A new Mac Mini
• x2 Wireless Keyboards
• x2 Mighty Mice
• Leopard Server

and…

• A MacBook Pro – 2.6 Core2Duo, 2GB RAM, 200Gb 7200 RPM HD with 17” Hi-res Glossy screen

So far, I have received everything except the actual MBP which will hopefully turn up some time in the next week or two.

But my addiction didn’t stop at the Apple Store, it spread to Amazon. Firstly, I thought subscribing to Amazon Prime (not an affiilte link) would be a good idea, and it certainly was – free next day delivery on every order for 12 months for £49/year.

With prime subscription in hand I went ahead and ordered:

• A new camera – Sony Cybershot 7.2 mega pixel thing
• 4 DVDs (on separate orders just to ‘test’ the prime thing)
• A Birthday Present for a relative – I even got Amazon to gift wrap it because I was feeling lazy

Now I have the camera, expect to see plenty more pics added to flickr… mainly of packaging but I might venture outside with the camera at some point and see what excitement can be found while breathing fresh air.
