The FedEx man just dropped off the call tags and waited while I wrote the case number on the box and filled out the shipping label. It's off to Apple via overnight delivery. Unfortunatly the wording in the last paragraph of the letter enclosed wi…

Well, yesterday the Fed Ex man came and went, not leaving a shipping label or box for the return of my 17" PowerBook. I called Apple Care again and was informed that it could take "up to 3 business days" to receive the "call tags" for the return. Th…

Here is my tale of woes. I ordered mine on Jan 10th. Been waiting since, and have raised some stink along the way. But I saved a hefty amount, so that is ok. It came in this morning at 9:30AM. After clearing and cleaning my desk, I started to …

From who's arse? Apple has built and shipped 150 units so far. Don't know when the others will ship. This info is from two sources. I would love to be wrong as I've been waiting since Jan 10.

I just spoke with my sales guy - a Developer, not a retailer. He informs me that Apple only shipped 150 units, and that was to show that some indeed did ship this quarter. They are still having production problems, so had these specially built. They…

I was only passing on what I was told. They guy wouldn't divulge more info, nor can I confirm it. I can only tell you I'm not making it up, and he isn't either. But because he heard something, doesn't mean it's true. Just thought everyone here wo…

So, has anyone here recieved a shpping notice from Apple? My dealer was out Friday, getting married Saturday (the nerve of him - I'm waiting for my PowerBook). Hopefully I'll hear that it is in route soon. Can't wait for someone with a functioni…

I called the Apple Store again today, and after talking with several people and being transfered to several departments, I was told that the 17" PowerBook would ship out on the 16th-18th for developers. All other customers will ship out in 2-3 weeks…

I am actually ordering my 17" PowerBook thru a special deal with a software developer since I use their software. They placed a large order on Jan 10th, and are supposedly the third order in the queue. It was explained to me that there were actua…

I just got off the phone with the Apple Store. The sales rep. I spoke with checked and said the 17" PowerBook should start shipping late this week from Taiwan. The earliest backorders should start receiving units by the middle of next week. New orde…
