I guess the elite dualie owners have to wait though. Oh well.
msantti, re: last day, cheer up. it's only about two weeks away. this is a far cry from the old days of aggravating delays.

So close yet so far.
As they say.
...Still waiting for my dual, however. \ Just two weeks... that's all... just two weeks....
So all of you whiners, complaining that your online preorder will probably come weeks after they are available for pick-up in stores, can quit crying and just be happy you are first in line.
Personally, I will wait until I can get the satisfaction of walking out of the store with mine. All the waiting for one to ship and get here would probably kill me.

The question is:
Are all of us that bought Early and waited for delivery of the G5's going to be given Panther when it comes out, or is Apple going to penalize us for buying a month or 2 early, before they ship G5's with Panther?
Also what keyboard and mouse are shipping with the G5?

technically, who knows? apple hasn't made a comment either way. and since they said it would be shipping by the end of the year, they can say that there was no public statement that would imply that panther would be available in the near future. therefore, people could complain all they want, but apple could say "we never told you anything different - your expectations were your own creation."
apple is covering their butts there -- i bet they're getting a bit sick of losing all these class-action suits from users, while the microsoft sheep hegemony seem to not mind that they're getting ass-reamed by viruses, spam and security holes every other week.
BUT, if apple wanted to start some goodwill and bridge-building, they could do a lot by giving deep discounts for all those who can provide proof of purchase of G5's, since those presales are gonna make this quarter look like a goliath compared to quarters previous.

Well, I just called the Apple Store at Kenwood Towne Center, and they don't even have a demo model in yet. He thought they might be getting one in later today, but didn't act like many were coming yet.

in a totally stupid thought, i am surprised they actually posted a photo of the box, rather than a photoshop-rendered version of the box. most companies do that, but here you can actually see the cardboard seam along the top.

If you look at the upper part of the "5" you can see the hole cut for the hand hold.

I have to second that. Can't wait for the first pics showing us what the keyboard and mouse look like so I can start buying accessories! Silver or White JBL Creatures.....?

you're right. didn't see it at first 'cause the lcd on my pismo is more washed out by the week. \
I hope someone takes delivery soon so we can finally put to rest the arguments about what mice and keyboards the G5s are shipping with...
