I went back to the Apple Store (North Star Mall) yesterday to see about getting an iPad 2,\u00a0 64G WiFi model.\u00a0 All they had was a 64G Verizon model.\u00a0 The Apple Store rep suggested the best chance would be to come in Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday between 8:30 and 9:00 am, get in line, and wait for the store to open at 10.\u00a0 He suggested that would be my best chance of getting one.<\/p>\n
I have decided to stand in line tomorrow in hopes the store will receive the iPad 2 I desire (I’ve decided color isn’t a big deal, but 64G and WiFi are key).\u00a0 I’m meeting a friend for lunch at 11:30 tomorrow, but that should allow plenty of time to deal with whatever comes at the Apple Store.<\/p>\n
I did decide to get the Western Digital My Passport 1 terabyte drive for the Air’s Time Machine back up drive.\u00a0 I also picked up the G-Technology 750 gigabyte drive as a supplemental drive for the Air.\u00a0 Also, I copied my critical files from the Windows machine (including my 230+ CD music collection) to the Iomega 1 terabyte drive that serves as a Time Machine drive for the Mini before shutting that machine down.\u00a0 Since it’s on the Time Machine drive, it isn’t getting backed up.\u00a0 If I copy those files to the 750G drive, I’ll have them available with ease no matter where the Air is, plus, it will get backed up on Time Machine back ups.<\/p>\n
I have all the CDs for the music, but it takes many days to feed them all into the drive and get them copied again.\u00a0 I don’t want to do that again unless I have to.<\/p>\n
Yes, I know what I said about getting a camera instead of the iPad2.\u00a0 I was wrong.\u00a0 We’ll see how things go tomorrow at the Apple Store.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
