I was thinking the same thing about moving the thread. At least my order is still *future*. I spoke with my contact again and he said they case revisions had been made and tested. That's what delayed them about 4 weeks. He said they were testing …

Actually I spoke with a reseller last Friday and he told me the hold up was a heat issue with the G4. He said the case was going thru a minor revision to allow better air flow to aid in cooling. He also hinted at the prospects of a better processor.…

I ordered mine on Friday Jan 10 and am number 14 on the waiting list at Mac Zones. I know Mac Zones ordered a ton of units, but they actually have few people on back order. I would hope I'm in the early shipment. I do wonder what is holding th…

Since 10.2.4 was released Thursday on Software Update, you would think that Apple has had it ready for a few days. But then maybe not. I don't really know much about those things. Let's hope that they decided there was enough room in there for a …

I just hear from my rep at Mac Zones and he informed me that Apple will be supplying the retail chain with 2 units each. One for the first backorder and one for display. This allows them to say they are shipping and gets them in front of the public.…

[quote] I hate to burst your bubble but it's nearly a certainty that the retail stores will get display models before any customer does. Yeah, even when typing that message, I was thinking Apple would probably ship each store a display model fir…

I called the Houston Galleria Apple Store and the recording said the 17" PowerBook should be in the store by late February. I would think they would fill the back orders before supplying display models to stores. Let's hope they start to show up …

[quote]Originally posted by warpd: Currently showing a 6-8 week shipping time That's for new orders, and I would think is a general term. I want to know when MY 17" AlBook will ship. I ordered on Jan 10. Almost a month now. This is w…

Friday I ordered my 17" G4 PowerBook with 1Gig of RAM and the Brenthaven case. That's all the accessories it will take. I already have an extra keyboard and a real mouse (2 buttons and scoll wheel). I had to hold off on the Airport Exreme Base Stati…

As I've said, I've ordered my 17" PowerBook and am eagerly awaiting delivery. To me the one major flaw in this model is the display resolution. I cut out a piece of paper the size of the AlBook and held it up to my 21" Apple Cinema Display (older…

I just ordered mine, complete with 1 Gig of RAM. I had wanted to order the 1Ghz TiBook when introduced in November, but now I'm glad I didn't. I use my PowerBook as a mobile desktop computer, and while it may be big for the jetsetter, it is ideal…

My guess would be that DaveGee is referring to the fact that the PPC 970 is the first in a line of PPCs from IBM. Either that or Stoo speculated that a dual core GPUL is still in the works. Personally I believe this will be the uber chip for wic…

Why is this thread in Future Hardware? Seems to have turned into a political discussion to me. Terry

Is it a fact that Apple is testing machines with the GPUL running OS X? I have not seen mention of this fact anywhere. Rumor history is that everyone gets all exicted about the next big thing that when something is introduces, no matter what or w…

I believe Moki has jumped in here numerous times. He has consistently said not to expect the GPUL until next fall. Personally, I believe him, more so than anyone else in this forum. Someone else correctly noted that IBM probably included the GPUL…

Does anyone have any information about the rumored G4++? I have heard nothing about it except from a few people on here. Is this wishful thinking, a rumor, or fact? I would love to have a new version of the G4 with a faster bus speed and other impro…
