The shipping time on the G5 Dual's have changed to 5-7 weeks from 7-10. now is that becuase we are now 3 weeks closer to the shipping date? I think they put up the 7-10 about 3 weeks ago.
Everybody is talking about the Dual G5 BTO, being delayed in shipping. What about the lower or the lowest end model of the G5's. I have ordered PowerMac G5 1.6 GHz with a combo drive and Radeon 9600 pro graphics card, the shiiping date for my G5 has always been "On or before 2nd Sep 2003". IS it possible for me to get the G5 by the end of this month, that's before September. I need my G5 for college work. Btw I wired the money to Apple the same day I ordered for the G5.

I didn't look at the BTO's the ship time.
Why in God's name would you think the plural of "dual" is "dual's"?
Apostrophes indicate possessive status only! I swear some of you would not pass a second grade spelling test.
i think they will start shipping the G5-PowerMacs on tuesday along with the introduction of the new PowerBooks

P.S. It's also "BTOs"
who cares? btw - can't you place an apostrophe instead of some letters that you don't write down? (example: i'd = i would) ???? ... don't know... if you could - wouldn't it be fun to write B'T'O's instead of BTOs ?
First, you bring 'God' into the discussion. Are you some kind of monotheistic bigot? The 2nd sentence asserts a fallacy. Apostrophes indicate a multitude of things, not just possession. The next sentence, beginning with ?I swear?, is grammatically incorrect. The fourth and final sentence demonstrates poor use of post script in the word processing era. Not that I actually care about such trivial details... but why go to such efforts to be hypocritical?
And yes, this entire post is ?incorrect? as well.
1. It's figure of speech. I'm an atheist for Christ's sake. Relax.
2. Of course apostrophes indicate a multitude of things. I was obviously referring to this current plague of third grade dropouts who think the plural of "cat" is "cat's".
3. No, it's not.
4.
Mods, sorry for the OT flaming. I'm starting a thread on the subject in AO. See all you "member's" there.

I appreciate your concern of correct spelling.
But did you ever took in mind that there are maybe people in forums who don't speek English as their first language.
For me it's my third language, actually.
sorry for this off topic intervention
