  • My "combo" drive is a Toshiba DVD-ROM SD-R1312.

  • As someone who got the missed date email on Monday, I am pleased to say mine is on the way. I really do think the new emails with far off dates are automatic when your day comes and the system sees your order hasn'y shipped yet. But it also seem…
  • The G3 AIO was essentially a Beige G3 (tower or desktop) tossed into a big chassis with a monitor. As such, the motherboard is pretty much the same as any other beige G3 and can take any ZIF processor upgrade - no need to go the PCI route. But supp…

  • Some of the MacNN posts seem to be suggesting that the email is automatically sent when your "day" arrives without the computer shipping. Regardless, I am calling an bitching until I get something free. This is a horrendous way to treat top dollar …
  • I had a stock machine except for a downgrade to the Combo drive. Just got the same email. I am IRATE. On the phone now, waiting for a manager.
  • RAGE!!!! Just got an email from Apple. My order wont be shipping until "on or before 10/14" now. What is the damn problem, and why is Apple waiting until the last minute to let me know? This iw twice now, and I am furious!
  • Um, what was the point of blurring out the Processor and Memory info in that logo? Also, does everyone think the scratch/reflection in the logo is essential to the chrome look? Could they pull it off without?
  • At least yours is theoretically on the way. Mine is scheduled to ship today, and with only 11:15 left, PST, I am really beginning to doubt that Apple is going to make its target. They just can't seem to get those G5's out the door, and I ordered on…
  • Do you know if the email arrives first, or the order status page changes first? Or were you not pathetically checking both every 5 minutes like I am?
  • How miserable, to be surrounded by empty G5 boxes! Unless of cours they are all empty because the G5's are on your desk. Then it's just disgusting to those of us waiting on ours to ship.
  • Thats what I am starting to be afraid of. But God I hope not. If there is another delay I am getting some free hardware upgrades out of them (Bluetooth, AE) or something.
  • Mine was a stock 2DP except for a CTO combo drive. Date went from 8/29 to 9/22 and hasn't changed since. I am getting paranoid about it shipping on time though. Anyone know if Apple ships over the weekends?
  • I too have the same situation with an "open" order slated for next Monday. I am getting scared, however, as it still seems very few dual orders have shipped, and like the last delay, Apple has very little time left to get many many orders out the do…
  • Order mine 07/06 and still no word on shipping. I am keeping my fingers crossed, and your notification has inspired me to check every 15 minutes from now on. God bless obsessive compulsive behavior!
  • The preauthorization charge on my credit card that was there for months then went away after the bumped ship dates is back, but no actual charge yet. Don't know how significant that is... No word on shipping yet.
  • Seems many are placing the G5 on the pedestal it deserves. I'd like mine to rotate sexily on a slowly turning platform... to bad about them cables getting all wound up around it though.
  • Thanks for the input. The most demanding thing I do in the computer is gaming and AAC encoding, as I'll be ripping my entire CD collection. I am definitely adding more RAM, but I wanted to see if any voices of mederation could convince me that th…
