All iMacs, eMacs EOL?
If you go to the Apple Store, you cannot buy an iMac or eMac without waiting at least 3-5 days for it to ship (meaning the computers are out of stock). Flat Panel iMacs are quoting 5-7 days or 2-3 weeks for delivery!
So here's how it looks now:
All eMacs: 3-5 days
All CRT iMacs: 3-5 days
Low end FP iMac: 2-3 weeks
FP iMacs: 5-7 days
Perhaps an update is due sooner than I thought.

The 31st is a Friday.
T'was ne'er more finely said.
Lemon Bon Bon :cool:
<strong>Well the machines were shipping within 1-3 days and now the Flat Panel iMacs shipping within 5-7 days (or 2-3 weeks) is pretty interesting.</strong><hr></blockquote>
Agreed.
Now that would be sandbagging.
Opps, I posted this next year. Would the moderators kindly save this post for January of 2004, I'm going back to sleep now.

Actually, at the earliest. Haven't you noticed that Apple seems to introduce hardware on Tuesdays?
Or to put it another way, "If It's Tuesday, It Must Be Hardware"

- 15" SuperDrive iMac still available
- other models (incl. 17") are either no longer listed (no proce quote, no trace that they ever existed) or they have a 25 days shipping quote!
Funny, funny!
I want a blazing fast iMac! <img src="graemlins/cancer.gif" border="0" alt="[cancer]" />

Maybe not: The Apple Store for education has a promo going for eMacs/iMacs:
Laser-sharp savings.
From January 28, 2003, through April 30 2003, or while supplies last, buy a Macintosh and qualifying HP LaserJet printer and save up to $100 instantly.

I would love to see a super speedy iMac, as well, but I fear that the ceiling is pretty low now because the lowest "power" mac is now a single 1GHz. Shame they didn't keep the bottom end a DP.
I don't think that's a natural law though,e.g. an update might coincidide with the "official" release of the iLife suite on Jan 31.
Still, next tuesday would just fine for me too though
edit: Err, so what Bodhi said

Yeah sales are a bit weak, but that's because they haven't upgraded it. Apple's not going to spend all that development money on engineering the iMac only to let it die without a fight.

Education Store = get rid of old models.
<strong>With all due respect, the iMac isn't going to be EOL'ed any time soon.

i think you misunderstand the term "EOL." it isn't nearly as fatal (pun intended) as you might think. it just means that third parties cannot restock the items from the manufacturer, usually if there is an imminent upgrade.
