Hi,

Slightly odd question I guess. I'm travelling to Orlando, FL from New Zealand in a couple of weeks. As the exchange rate is so good (for us) at the moment, I'm thinking of picking up an 800 Mhz 12" iBook while I am over in the US.

Problem is I'm only going to be in the country for about a week - do Apple stores keep their own stocks of stuff like iBooks? I was browsing an online store here in NZ and noticed that their inventory was zero for all iBooks. I figured that the Orlando Apple Store - being a proper US Apple Store - would be OK for stock. Basically I just want to walk in with the money and walk out with the computer!

Apart from a phone number on the Apple site, I can't find a contact email address for the Orlando store to ask them directly.

Any advice?

Unless they for some odd reason they run out you should not have any problem.

just a simple cash for iBook trade!

Good luck and enjoy your new toy.

Excellent! My current machine is a 333 Mhz iMac so I suspect I'm going to enjoy the iBook rather a lot...

You shouldn't have any trouble buying one. Just hand them the cash and they'll grab you an iBook from the back. Enjoy!
