well

<a href="http://store.apple.com/Your/WebObjects/OrderStatus"; target="_blank">http://store.apple.com/Your/WebObjects/OrderStatus</a>;

does not seem to work right now...either a problem at the site, or perhaps they are changing lots of orders from "being assembled" to "being prepped for shipment"...more than likely it is a site problem, but i can hope...g

can anybody check their order?? i can't right now...g

Teah! I cant track my order at the usual <a href="http://www.apple.com/OrderStatus"; target="_blank">http://www.apple.com/OrderStatus</a>; !!!! What the hell is going on?! Maybe it is being changed to prepped for shipping? ,,,,,,M

apple say they are just making some changes to the site...routine stuff and will be back soon...but the order status page has been down most of the day....g

I checked my order status and noticed that the original order was canceled and that a new iMac order was tagged on to the end. I was worried that this would essentially put me at "the end of the line" so I called apple. They told me that they had done this because they are doing mass shippings to speed things up and that my iMac will be shipped "very very soon". I guess things are on the move. just wanted to let you guys know....still counting the days, hours, minutes, seconds....

That's good. I wonder if that "mass shipping" will include reseller orders or only Apple store ones? MacMall told me on or about the 31.

Hope still springs eternal for this week!

I don't know if this is new...

Just checking the Apple online store and they are saying that new orders for the top of the line iMac are shipping in 3-5 weeks. So, they must have a back log of orders to fill first.

800MHz PowerPC G4

256K L2 cache @ 800 MHz

256MB SDRAM

60GB Ultra ATA drive

10/100BASE-T Ethernet

56K internal modem

AirPort ready

Apple Pro Speakers

New orders shipping in 3-5 weeks<hr></blockquote>

Notice the first word of your last sentence. That word is very important and relevant to why

we are here waiting for the next few days.

The order status site at Apple is down again as of now. WTF!

the 28th? That's what next Monday? 2 day FedEx, so I should get it next Wednesday. Cool.

Now where are those fricking towers!?!?!

Yes it is next Monday. It seems likely since that's what Apple's told people. MacMall told me twice that they expect a shipment on the 31st and I'd think the Apple stores would get them before then.

As far as the towers, the rumors I've heard say they'll be coming next week too.

ghost_user_name · January 23, 2002 4:55PM

Its a process of elimination now.

Only a week left in the month. :eek:

taq · January 23, 2002 9:27PM

Okay, I know it's from a completely unreliable source...and even part of their text makes me cry BS (because of the availability of models that shouldn't be ready yet), especially after the whole iWalk debacle but SpyMac has posted the following message on their page:

Taken from <a href="http://www.spymac.com/"; target="_blank">http://www.spymac.com/</a>;

All three iMac models now shipping (01/23/2002) (5:55 P.M.) posted by Webmaster from the confirmed news department. Edited @ 7:10P.M.

We have received confirmation that all three models (700mhz G4 low, middle and 800mhz G4 high-end) of the new iMac are not only in stock at select warehouses, but also due to arrive in stores either late this week or Monday at the latest . Our source at one store told us that his one warehouse located in Chicago has the following quantities:

1,000\tHigh-end

500\tMid-Range

200 low-end

Even though Jobs' said that only the high-end model would be available first, he was obviously simply being conservative.

If spymac keeps guessing long enough, maybe they'll get something right, some day.

I wonder if I'll live that long, or if I'll maybe even have my iMac by then?

imacfp · January 23, 2002 9:52PM

Hmm. I'm not sure I buy it but I'd love to think it is true. As you said, consider the source. <img src="graemlins/hmmm.gif" border="0" alt="[Hmmm]" />
