I was thinking about this after I ordered my MacBook, and it was sent via Fedex out of Memphis. I’m assuming that most companies keep warehouses very close to Memphis, TN of ready to go, in stock products. They would want to do this since the central hub for worldwide distribution of Fedex is in Memphis… just a random thought…

Sources for this thought, a new macbook, o’hare aiport, seeing planes flying overhead.
