I have always bought online - sometimes Apple, sometimes 3rd party. I'm 
thinking to try the local Apple store and realize I know nothing about how 
they really work. Are they merely showrooms or do they actually have various 
configurations of stuff. Specifically I'm wondering if I can just walk in and 
walk out with a MacBook Pro configured the way I want - the 15" 2.2GHz 
i7/standard 4 MB RAM, either the 5400 RPM 750 GB or the 7200 RPM 500 GB 
drive. BTW, I'll add a boot SSD in a few months.

What do you think my odds are?
