2Ghz dual+BT+radeon 9800 -superdrive ordered 7/6 I'm thinkin they have screwed around with the dates so much that they don't even know themselves which ones they should be working on first. The appearance of units in the retail stores is abou…

I guess tonight (Sunday 09/21) will be the moment of truth if they take the cowardly way out again and bump out 09/22 orders in the middle of the night like they did last time. BTW-looks like they threw in a free shipping upgrade from ground to s…

From the article: "While previous Power Macs had a latch for easy access to the internal components, the G5 is lockable to prevent unwanted intrusion." My G3 is lockable, so what are they talking about?

I was billed today (09/15/03) for my dual 2Ghz backordered from 07/06/03. That would put it on schedule to make the estimated 09/22/03 shipping date quoted on my order status.

A more interesting question to me is, would this DDR4000 500Mhz memory allow the 1Ghz G5 bus to reach full speed? I assume the interleaved 400Mhz RAM (800Mhz effective speed) that comes with the machine is causing a lot of "wait" cycles. …

To while away the hours waiting for my G5 to ship, I have turned to accessorizing---I have two 15K rpm cheetah SCSI drives I am going to try to cram in (or on top of) my G5 I think I will call this contraption the G5 SCSI CABOOSE

odd thing is, back in early July I predicted we would see some wild gyrations on the dates and I was almost laughed off of the boards. I have been at 8/31, 8/29, 9/26, 9/22 and it still ain't over. getting a G5 is major operation, not for the…

My e-mail reads the same (10-15 business days) and my order status moved up from 9/26 to 9/22

Whoa!---just moved up from 9/26 to 9/22

If my 2Ghz backorder from July 6th does not deliver on friday as advertised I would lobby for some tangible freebies thrown in such as discounted software packages as a good-will gesture. (my order was placed too early to qualify for the final cu…
