So I ordered my iMac last night.

from Apple.com

Anyways, the status of my order for the last day and a half was "Not Yet Shipped"

Today it is "Prepared for Shipment "

Does this mean that my UAE credit Card was accepted? Anyone who has ordered from Apple.com have any insight?

Thanks all!

Yap I think you have got lucky

Once it says prepared for shipment it usually ships out and you get an order acknowledgement email as well. Sit tight!

If it gets cancelled its never reaches the Prepared for shipment stage and shows cancelled...

BTW you could have also ordered from macmall. I find their prices a bit cheaper then the Apple Store + they do not charge tax.

Let us know how it goes, at the customs etc.

Congratulations. That's a great finish to 2007 and an even better start to 2008!

Ahaha, Thanks you 2. I must say Im so happy with Leopard. and the wireless keyboard is the EXACT size of my iBook's keyboard. so I feel like I haven't changed much... except the huge screen.

Is it possible for me to move EVERYTHING (including for example my Adium X preferences) to the new Mac?

Oh, btw, there were no taxes or customs dues upon receipt of the iMac. So basically my 2GB 320 GB iMac cost me just as much as the basic one here, and that includes shipping.
