I've already ordered a G4 but its taking awhile to ship to me.
should I hold off and wait for the new G5 to come out?

its almost been a week since I made my order and nothing has changed.

You could wait for a G5, but that could be months still. Plus I wouldn't want a Rev. A of "the mother of all thermal challenges" Sounds like a portable grill to me!
JonTheRvelator said:so its pointless to wait then.
thats cool.
I just ordered the G4 15" with the 100gb hard drive and 128mb of RAM. Thats all I moded on the system. I ordered it on 04.19.05, they said it would ship by 04.22.05 and no it says on or before 04.28.05. So I don't know whats going on.

JonTheRvelator said:really?
they told me I'd get a special website to go to so I could download it.
Tiger will be pretty cool I guess, (I'm new to macs)

They never did make a G5 powerbook.. if I saw this post back in 2005 I would say just go with the 1.67ghz G4.does it take forever to ship from the apple online store?

D*mn. I'm still waiting for mine.Well gee they probably know that by now, only a few short 14 years later...
D*mn. I'm still waiting for mine.
i suppose it just depends on how old you are, and how long you expect to live
if your under 40 and expect to live till 80 then yes, i might be worth waiting because you might get a year or two years use out of it
there at least 36 years away

This happened to someone, worst of all, it was a quad. At least it still worked, but the nice tower was bent thanks to careless idiots who throw the packages into the back of the trucks.The damn mailing systems probably lost it.
First they bend your G5 tower, then they crack your eMac, and next thing you know, they lose your PowerBook G5!
Someone ought to send those people a flippin' subpoena!
