    Hey, they just started shipping them today. Sometimes the OrderStatus page isn't updated until AFTER it is already on its way. My brother's G4 didn't change to 'shipped' until it was on the truck to our house, and I mean actually on its way to be delivered within the hour.

    So, what is your status? I am so scared that something bad happened to my account or something. If they are shipping then why does my status say being assembled? The status page was down for a day and mine isnt touched?

    stay cool macintosh....site was down for a freakin day and a half plus...and my status didn't change either....i think they are going to skip the whole, being prepped for shipment and go right to "shipped"....i think that many iMacs are shipping today, and i find it hard to believe that people like you and i, who ordered on the 7th, aren't going to be in the "first wave" of shipments.....my status is still "partially shipped" because of office x....wish i had made that a separate order as "being assembled" (as much as i hated seeing that after the first week or so), be better than "partially shipped"...partially shipped gives me no indication of my iMac status....so i now live on hope...mostly....also live on love, desire, freedom and a nasty addiction to sobe green tea...g

    No, actually I am sick today. The first day of school I have missed since september (not bad). Luckily it happens to be a day of big Apple news. As for next week, GO PATRIOTS!!

    Hey Guys,

    I was trying to check my order status earlier today and my Apple ID wouldnt work so I called up the Apple Store. Anyway, I went ahead and checked my status and the lady said that I wouldn't see it for another week or two. I did order mine kinda late though, the 13th. It still makes me kinda mad. Well, all I can do is hope shes wrong or was just feeding me a safe date so Apple wouldnt get hate calls. Hope you guys have better luck than I do.



    Derek



    Oh yeah and as soon as anyone sees that beacon we've all been looking for "Shipped", please let the rest of us know. <img src="graemlins/smokin.gif" border="0" alt="[Chilling]" />

    I'm sure you'll all be getting notifications very soon. I just spoke with my reseller here, and he says to expect my iMac either tomorrow (outside chance) and more likely Wednesday, with a worst case scenario of Thursday.







    My wife isn't going to see me for days after this baby gets here...

    Congratulations on being the first! About 45 minutes ago mine changed to SHIPPED as well. I ordered about 12 hours after the announcement, if that gives anybody an idea about their order. You're right about watching FEDEX. I thought I could calm down and not waste my work time checking the Apple Store, but now I have to watch for the package to arrive, so I'll never get anything done.

    My heartfelt congratulations Gelding. Hope you have a ball, while the rest of us sit in envy dreaming of the day our iMacs might be on a truck.

    Man, you are so lucky!! Have fun with it, and definitely let us know how it goes.



    Mine is supposed to be here today too - do you have any idea how hard it is to type with your fingers crossed?!



    After such a long wait, I think there's going to be a huge glut of iMacs delivered today!
