hey hazza,
Its cool that you got your shipping note. On the lists you are down as a 23/6 UK order with Bluetooth.
Is yours an Education or Developer order by any chance? Im just building up ammo for when I assault (assault!) Apple on the phone tomorrow afternoon (unless, god forbid it actually ships! But im not holding my breath). My order is a consumer 15/6 order. Similar to yours (ie Bluetooth) except I had the modem removed.
Cheers for the info and good luck with the machine...

Hopefully it'll arrive before you leave on holiday!, but then again, if you don't have time to play with it, you'll be having a weird vacation.. longing to be back to play with a computer
Partyfart,

To get my mind of things Hoping everybody gets it's shipping email soon. Hang in there!!
PS. I posted several angry emails to apple. Maybe that helped. Who knows...

Whilst I am really pleased that yours is shipping, and I hope you get it soon!, I can't help but be pissed off, since I ordered on the 14th of June via a merchant/reseller, and we know nothing at all... :/
DesertDog said:I've always had good luck with memory from Ramjet. The memory's always been of good quality and has a lifetime warranty against defects and firmware updates. Plus they come with ram heat sinks. That alone is worth it.
I ordered 2 gigs from them (2x1gig) for $500. A lot cheeper then it was from apple. Only problem is the ram came in a month ago and is sitting useless on my desk.
Yeah, I used RamJet for the 1GB (2x512) in my Pismo. They are the smallest 512MB chips I have ever seen.
I guess its worth the extra $50 over OWC. Good point about the heat sinks.
Hopefully the European order shipments will be echoed by a large shipment of 2.5's out of California / China this afternoon.
I'm still hoping.
I'm still hoping.

Well if its any consolation to yourself and klaus, I have a 15/6 order from the UK Apple Store, and I haven't heard anything yet either.
Ugh, it feels so pathetic squabbling over 8 days of order/shipping, but that, it seems, is what I have become...
Its the self exploratory journey I always wanted. To see how petty a grown man can become.
Hooray for Apple... Their new slogan should be "Not Just Computers - A Journey"
partyfart said:Well. i'm not Hazza, but my 3/9 date isn't changed. but my G5 is shipped
Is it shipping from Cork, Ireland? or from somewhere in azia or the states.
Because if it would come from Cork, that would cut delivery time considerably, I guess

I can't believe I'm the only person to receive my G5 in the UK but I suppose it's possible. I phoned Apple a few days prior to the original 02/08/04 deadline to explain that I had a buyer for my G4 1.25 DP but that he had to buy before the end of July for tax reasons. Asking (politely!) if the deadline was going to be met, I was told that no further details were available but I was also advised that they would make an urgent note on my file. As we all know, the deadline came and went, so did my buyer's and I still have my G4.
In view of the above and the fact that only one other machine has been reported in the UK, I feel I may have inadvertantly become a special case and received my G5 earlier than I should. If this is the case, then my shipment probably won't count towards Apple's official figures and by giving out my order number, I could possibly get the guy at Apple who helped me into trouble. I'd also rather not have my account flagged to the effect that I'm not to be helped in future!
I do sympathise but I hope you understand and I'm sure that your G5s will be with you as soon as Apple can get them out the door. I know it's easy for me to say, but hang in there, all of you! It's worth the wait and it won't be long now.
