Last night, the Apple Store pushed back the despatch date of the Mac Pro by another 6 days, to 13th Feb, meaning that I almost certainlyu wouldn't see it till w/c 18th. Enough is enough.

I asked a mate of mine if his distributors had any in stock, They do. So one is ordered for a Saturday delivery, and Apple have been cancelled. Lets just hope they process the refund promptly ...

In other news, I am considering (just considering) laser surgery on my eyes. I have obtained a copy of my last prescription, from May 06, and that indicates it's possible, even with my myopia and astigmatism, so I've booked an eye test for Monday to see what the current deterioration is. I expect when push comes to shove, I'll be too squeamish to do it, and too mean to pay out £2k, but it's nice to have the facts before I dismiss the idea.

It looks like it's because of the scar tissue where they do the cutting and lasing ... there's at least one other form of eye surgery I'm keeping an eye on (where they insert a lens into the cornea or thereabouts, or put in a ring of some kind) but that really requires you to have a small to average pupil size and I don't know if I do ... a friend was about to get it a year ago so I did a chunk of reading up on it.

I suppose if you already have poor night vision and don't drive at night, then you don't have much to worry about.

Best of luck and let me know how it works out!
