Keep it and upgrade the RAM yourself. It's much cheaper.
Do this. Check out OWC or Newegg.

The way alot of those people were treated today. My heart goes out to them. It makes me want to never support another Apple product again and actually glad I didn't give that Apple store my money for a Iphone 4. I arrived like alot of people at 6 am. That's exactly what they told us when I came 2 days earlier to double check. There were already thousands of people there in both reserved and non-reserved lines. I was almost to the very back of the non reserved line.
I waited in that line until 10 am. A full four hours, and we had not moved more than 50 feet. They kept telling us that the wait time would be around 5 hours estimated tops. I did the calculations in my head, that if we spent the last 4 hours (3 hours actual store open time) to move 50 feet, how the hell were we going to move 400+ feet in 5 hours. Our line, the non-reserved line wasn't budging. It moved probably 10 feet every 45 minutes.
I decided it was physically impossible to move all the way to the front in only 5 hours the way the lines were going. My greatest fears were proven correct. I asked one of the workers up front why our non reserved line wasn't moving and he told me they had to keep doing recounts to ensure everyone in the reserved line would get their phones. Talking to people closer to the front, they said the people being let in from the reserved side to the non reserved side was like 20 to 1. I left the line, went to Best Buy and asked for an Evo 4g, a phone I had been trying to get for weeks and which I was on several lists. As plain dumb luck would have it, they actually had a few. I got one, which I actually coveted way more than any Iphone and checked back in multiple times as I had errands to run, with the people I was standing in line with.
I ****** you not, the last time I checked in with them, it was 8:30 pm and they still had around 300 people ahead of them. With no indication of getting a phone anytime soon. They literally spent an entire day there waiting on a cell phone. And the kicker is that I asked one of the workers when they planned on closing, and they said 9 pm. He then told me that people in the reserved line would probably get a voucher and the people in the non-reserved line were s-o-l. There entire day was wasted for nothing and now if they want to get an Iphone, they have to repeat the process again tomorrow.:mad:
This was piss poor planning by the Apple store that made alot of people suffer with the only hope of getting an Iphone to hang on. I realize that 99% of you who got your Iphone today will probably not care because you feel like those people waiting in the non-reserved line should have reserved. The problem is, most of them DID try to reserve, but thanks to At&t's and Apple's website crashing, that was nearly impossible for them. Alot of them actually did reserve but never got the confirmation email.
If you ask my opinion of what should have happened, I believed that Apple should have scrapped non reservations all together like Att, Best Buy, Wal-Mart, Radio Shack, because they clearly did not have the infrastructure to handle this amount of people. Alot of people suffered waiting in line the whole ENTIRE day and came away with nothing! I know nobody held a gun to their head, but Apple should have made EVERYONE aware of how they would be handling this mess instead of keeping people in the dark and repeatedly lying about the hopes of getting an Iphone.
They handed out drinks, and bagles, and sandwiches in line, but why not have somebody go through line with an armed security guard and ring up people actually OUTSIDE of the Apple store with those Ipod Touch Registers. Those who pay cash would have their money placed in a Safe Deposit Box again with the armed guard present. People could then get their Iphone right there with the worker activating their account on a laptop equipped with wi-fi. If they need more workers to carry that out, hire some college kids on Summer Break for a day or get some Att employees who were twiddling their thumbs all day in their stores. There may be some holes in my solution, but it's better than the crappy way they treated their customers today. Apple makes great products, but their arrogance and neglect is overbearing and I've just about had it with this company! They can go make their money off some other loser.:mad:

Thanks arn, I think it will work well. A few questions:
I'm assuming that the "Featured Guides" links at the top of the forums will be changed to automatically refer to them, but will they be displayed anywhere else (eg on the main pages of MacRumors and the guides)? As it is I think the user encouragement is limited by the fact that it's not obvious they are world-editable until you visit the pages themselves.
Are you wanting just one world-editable article each week, or a few? I think having about 5 per week would be more advantageous since a single article represents such a small portion of the Guides, and we have enough people to watch over changes. There are only so many improvements that can be made to one article, so a week seems like a long time to focus on a single page. Take for example the Aperture article, which has only had one change in the last 6 days yet has been the only featured guide during that period.
Finally, would there be a set time each week for the article selection to change, and would it be just you or all the sysops choosing them? If the latter, would there be prior discussion as to which articles to select (eg in the WorldEdit talk page), or would sysops just add articles without consultation?

or they have hacked someone's account so that they appear to be a reputable seller.
This cannot be legit. $2200 for a 17" PB and a 23" display? That's gotta be below cost.
One sure test is to ask them to use escrow with a service of YOUR choice. (escrow.com maybe?) Any legit seller would understand why you felt this was necessary. the ones who are trying to scam you will have a million excuses why this will not work ("it's against company policy," "I need the money fast," "I can only use this one certain escrow service...")
let me repeat, this CANNOT be legit. Only the 17" PB for that price has gotta be close to what wholesellers pay, if not lower. Plus you get a $2000 display for free? If it were a legit seller they could easily unload the whole package for twice that and have a very happy customer.

y dont they feed it live??
Most likely to help promote being in the keynote attendance. Or it's out of MacWorld's budget. Or Apple said no, because they want exclusive rights to the video and want to put it online on their own terms. Sounds to me like the ladder.

Anyone using a MIDI interface? im looking at the M-Audio ones on the apple store
I've been using Logic Pro 8 since it was released with an M-Audio USB Fast Track. I also bought an M-Audio Keystation 88. The keyboard feels good and I haven't had any problems with it. The Fast Track sounds decent enough. Latency isn't too bad when Logic Pro is set to low-latency mode.

my problem.
The file plays fine in iTunes but it
will not burn.....I click on burn.....I get
the "checking media" message then
I get "none of the items in this playlist can be burned to disc" and that ends
it. when I used a different software
to burn the result I got was 99% hiss
on the finished CD, I used 'dragon burn"
Anyone got some answers?????

Hello guys,
I've recently ran into an issue. I need to copy files from an external drive to an IMAC but I need all dates to be preserved. Like creation date, modification date etc...
Is that possible somehow?
Thanks a bunch for your help.

Are you ready to rumble with an SMP client? ARE YOU?! Well, let us see what the high performance FAQ (http://folding.stanford.edu/FAQ-highperformance.html) has to say;
November 2006 The SMP client is now looking good enough that we are starting a more broad alpha test outside of Stanford. If that looks good, we will move to a broader beta test of this new client.
Interesting! Very interesting! Hope to see you there! :)

These are scams. The sellers always seem to be in Spain or England for some reason and will send you the item after you use their escrow service, which of course is a fraud. If it's too good to be true, it's almost always a scam. Cavaet Emptor.

I only had a few minutes this morning to look at this but I believe the main problem is your not calling the "mail" command. You have this line but it's not doing anything as it's just a variable...
$success = mail($webMaster, $emailSubject, $body, $headers);
If you just use this it should work...
mail($webMaster, $emailSubject, $body, $headers);
You may have other things to work out but this should send the email massage and you should be able to retrieve it at info@avenue19ni.com.
Just saying, this advice is incorrect. The first version was simply capturing the return value from the function. The second is discarding the return value. Both are calling the function.
