That reminds me of a thread in the Mac forum from August 3, 2006: 
When the postman rang twice...
Over 6000 replies at the level of: "Mine just passed through Shanghai, is now flying to Calcutta, etc...." - It's a good thing no one thinks to extrapolate from this thread to the level of the entire community, right?
How about a follow-up thread, something like: "When the postman rang twice! - How did you feel when the postman stood at your door with the MacBook?"
MäcMesser (early Apple user): "I cleared a room especially for my new PowerBook. When my MacBook arrived, we both retreated to that room. The MacBook and me! Just the two of us! A man and his Book!"
LucyPower (Apple newbie): When the doorbell rang and the postman stood there with my MacBook in his hand, I fainted with joy. Four months later I realized I was pregnant, but to this day I don't know how.
Well, and so on!
Happy New Year 2026!
