Keep an eye on www.powerbookcentral.com because just recently they've posted that several Mac resellers have them in stock, and some of them are offering a free upgrade to 1GIG of RAM.

Power Max has them in stock. I ordered mine yesterday evening and it will ship today. I got overnight shipping, so I'll have it tomorrow. Nobody else can beat that right now. No education discounts though.

Make sure he "uses" it for a day or so. Get some pics on there, a couple of documents. A friend of mine got done by UK customs for bringing a US PB back with him. They basically proved that it was purchased abroad with the intention to bring into the UK.
