Yes, ordered directly from the Apple Store (Education UK). As to reseller, the one we have often used (Jigsaw24.com) have an excellent education department and quite often call the supplier there and then to check where the item is in the system. Worth calling your reseller to get them to chase it, though I dare say yours may be delayed a day or so as it will have to reach the reseller before being sent out to you. I don't think Apple will have your details, as the reseller orders they receive will be in the resellers name.
Good luck, hope it arrives in time for the weekend. e
Just got off the 'phone to SCOTSYS in Glasgow. Mine's is in and they are fitting it with the extra 256 memory. I was told they received just 2 - that's right 2. As I ordered it very early on the 8th I suppose I've been lucky.
I've to expect it either tomorrow (unlikely I would have thought ) or Thursday.
I'm looking forward to it but it's annoying that I'm feeling guilty that we cant all enjoy this at the same time. Hope you all get good news soon. At least they are over here.
Q: What do you mean you can't say, it's a simple question, have you had some in or not.
A: All I can say as that we will have some on Friday sir.
Q: Other Apple resellers have started distributing them why are you so far down the priority list.
A: We arn't we will have them on Friday.
The man on the phone was very evasive. Have the staff bagged the first machines, or some special customers? I can't believe that while others are quite happy to tell customers ...you are 6th, 7th,8th on the list etc. Computer Warehouse will give no information and won't even confirm that they have recieved any stock at all. This is the last time I buy anything from them. Rotten service.

I bought an iMac from them b4. They took my details and 3 days later got a phone call to ask for credit card number as they had lost it. Eventually got it 7 days after order on a next day delivery Would never buy from them again.
My status has changed
Previously had two orders showing with same order number but being reviewed. Now there is only one and is being assembled. I hope to fek that they aren't only just processing my order as I've spoken to them twice already about it.
Maybe my iMac is just desperate to make it to me and is changing things itself
Can we have some photos when your systems arrive please guys.
I think we should get The Sun to start a campaign for us....you know like the FREE DEIRDRE RASHID campaign.
SAY OK TO UK iMACS
Any other suggestions???? I am pissed off with the UK being second class citizens. Fek even the Froggies got one before us.
Been lurking around AI since the first iMac was announced.
I thought I would share this with you. I got home from work last night to find my new Imac G4 800 was waiting for me in the hallway!
I ordered it from Apple Education on 11/01/02 but there was a problem with my credit card details which delayed the order being processed until 17th. They gave me a delivery date of 21/02/02. So I was amazed when I got home and it was there.
The base is a lot bigger than I thought and it is really heavy. I have got 1 dead pixel
The good news, spoke to the tnt guy and he said they have been receiving many of them and making deliveries all over the place, so hopefully the waiting for you guys is almost over. Good luck, its well worth the wait. e
Got home from work to find it sitting there. More fun with a box than I've ever had. Started up first time - boy was that a relief after the various posts. don't think there are any dead pixels but I'm not certain. Screen is awesome and System X just seems so natural already. Disaster - I've just been informed by my wife that I had agreed to go to the local Thai restaurant for a meal tonight ! More fun later. In the meantime can anyone fill me in on this Target mode thing for transferring files. I know its an ethernet crossover cable but what's that when its at home?
Just read this over and realised how excitable I sound. Hopefully, these things are starting to roll out in numbers - wish you luck with yours.
You lucky bastard <img src="graemlins/surprised.gif" border="0" alt="[Surprised]" />
A new iMac and a powerboook in the same day. You should have ordered them a month apart so you could have that Christmas feeling all over again.
Only one day left and then my baby will be with me. Was originally delayed and rebooked on a later flight but, now seems they managed to find one extra space oin the plane for mine. Yippeee.

Just thought I'd share it.

Then i get a call to say they were for a show.
I am soooo fed up now apparently the delivery showing are to be kept for a show and will NOT be allocated to customers. CAN U BELIEVE IT.
5 Weeks monday and I still have NO firm delivery date yet! Can u believe how gutted I am.
Hope I can afford one by then.
I'm sorry you haven't had yours yet. Mine won't arrive until Tuesday. Perhaps you'll have yours by then.
Keep on

I got my iMac on 14/02/02 after ordering on the 9th Jan (I think).
Tried posting on the board, but the bloody thing didn't give me my password until today ?????
Anyway, very impressed with it. I got an iBook too on the same day, and am over the moon with both of my purchases.
