Well, surprise surprise, CompUSA in West Nyack NY did NOT have it, nor does anyone else within a 40 min drive of my house, as far as I know. A very disappointing day, factored in with work. They claim it "might" be in late next week, not a very good showing for Apple in this part of NY, IMHO...

Called up two Circuit Cities and they don't have it. (this is on the east coast at least) Can't get through to my CompUSA, and there's really no info on their website about it. Is it safe to assume all CompUSA's have the update CD's in? It's an hour ride to our nearest one, should I bet on...
