Originally ordered standard con-fig 6/23 was originally scheduled 8/29.
Pushed to 9/15.
Just now told by Macconection all duals pushed to 9/29.
Im real happy about this.
I placed an order with Macconnection as well, and I called them twice today. The ETA (which has been the ETA for the past 10 days) is 9/19. The first call I placed was late this afternoon, and customer service said that Apple is telling their buyers 9/19. The second call was placed at midnight (Thursday morning), and the sales rep ALSO stated 9/19. They have 450+ on backorder, and they are expecting 800 units in by the 19th.
Further, my order was placed on 8/14, so you must be pretty high up on the list. No one has told me anything other than 9/19, so hopefully that date will stay etched in stone.
One last thing - I live near CDW. They are expecting their first shipment by Friday, and another larger shipment the following week. They just purchased MicroWarehouse, making them the biggest mail order vendor of Macs, bar none.
So, they're on their way, sooner than we all think.

ETA at MacConnection as of today STILL stands at 9/19. Hopefully this will not change.

Most were pushed to 9/29 a long time ago. This is nothing new.
3-8 bus. days according to that email....
Only a few days ago it was something like two weeks.

Uh oh, if you configure a stock dual 2gig G5 on Apples website it quotes a 3-5 week delivery.

That was probably a mistake. Do you really think orders placed 9/1 would ship at the same time as 6/23 orders and before 8/1 orders?

I chuckled when I saw this and had to share it.

They should send the parts and let new G5 owners build the machines themselves.
This makes perfect sense, except that for $3K, I expect a fully put-together 'puter...

Whoa! That sucker's got a full 8 gigs of RAM. How 'bout them apples?
- two 23" Cinema HD Displays
- Power Mac G4 Dual 1.42GHz 2GB RAM
- 12" Power Book
- 15" Power Book
- 17" Power Book
- Airport Extreme
- iSight
- ...
That would put it on schedule to make the estimated 09/22/03 shipping date quoted on my order status.
