KZ?
For the last few days, my new computer has been sitting on a Fed Ex shipping dock in Shanghai. Today, it is "in transit" from Almaty, Kazakhstan. Globalization is amazing, frightening, but mostly still INFURIATINGLY SLOW!!! It seemed like such a good idea to just click the "purchase" button on the apple web site on Monday. So much easier than driving _all the way_ over to Sacramento's apple store. Now, as my future computer tours contries I will probably never get to see, I'm starting to get an itsy bit impatient. I'd probably be in a better mood, if I didn't have 4-5 lectures to work on every day, and piles of documents piling up to be printed (my medical school has the IT resource availability of your average AAPR member's house). Oh well, for now, the best I can do is travel the world vicariously through my boxed up G4.

Something fishy is going on here... I thought it was odd that your computer would be anywhere near Kazakhstan so I googled "Kazakhstan apple" and found this reference in Wikipedia:
"The name of the city of Almaty, 'Father of Apples' in English, derives from the wild apples that grow naturally in the area. Apples were first cultivated in this area, and Kazakhstan's apple stock is the most biologically diverse in the world."
Coincidence?? I think not... I'll explore further when it's not approaching midnight.
