Dual 1.42GHz PowerPC G4 Z079 4 - 6 Weeks still!

What is the reason for the long delay of PowerMacs with the 1.42Ghz processors. Will are they hedging their bets on the MPC 7457 being available?

<strong>The Apple store is still quoting 4-6weeks, this has got to be one of the longest lead times for a new product to shipping.

Huh...no...
Think if you ordered a Power Mac G4 500 in October 1999. You wouldn't have gotten it for 13+ weeks....

Ummm, short memories people...
The original Powermac 1.25 Gee-it-Hertz didn't ship for at least 4 weeks and more like 6 or 8. Announced in July/Aug and shipped late september.

I had to wait 4 weeks to get my Titanium 400 back then. <img src="graemlins/oyvey.gif" border="0" alt="[oyvey]" />
Doesn't any one remember the original iBook launch? I remember that there was one kid in my town who had ordered a tangerine iBook 233 and he waited all summer for it. Finally, he got a tracking number and waited for delivery on a Friday. He went out for like 5 minutes and of course missed the delivery.
So Monday rolled around and he didn't leave the house. The truck showed up and all he got was a letter from Apple apologizing for the delay saying that he would get the iBook in another 6-8 weeks.
He finally got it in late September or early October I believe.
Also don't forget the original iMacs- introduced to the public in May, didn't ship until August 15.
