It arrived!
After my last conversation with the apple suppervisor, the machine magically shipped the next day. She gave me another 100$ just the day before. It arrived this morning but I am at work so I cant touch it untill later. It feels a little like a long wedding day.......if ya know what I mean......
I know to all those waiting, every one of the "it has arrived" posts increased both temperature and blood pressure a bit. I do feel your pain. It is a little strange to actually have it here, can some out there pinch me......

6800 in the UK (on the 13th)
Just got my bump email from AppleStore UK. My ship date was today for my 2.5Ghz 6800 + 30". It's an ADC order, and I'm really thinking of just cancelling the order altogether. Have had and iMac G5 20" on order from day one, so I may just live with that untill the next G5 PowerMac revision.
I guess everyone else will get pushed back too. Apple this is a complete disaster!

I take exception to this line:
Except where third-party suppliers are failing to deliver necessary parts!
I fired off a good-natured, but pointed missive BEFORE I received this. I mentioned that customer loyalty has a breaking point, and I am rapidly approaching the turning point...

Apples latest bump.....
Just got the same bump email as Glassbathroom and others 😡
I wonder why the last bump only pushed orders 10 days ahead,and this time it's a whole month?
New expected date is the same as that for my firstborn child,so my patience is being sorely tested on both counts...! 😱

I think that was the title of the man i had spoken to a month ago. He was going to try to speed up my order but was unsuccessfull.
wdlove said:
Thanks WDLove, your right, being angry probably wont help the G5 turn up any quicker. I guess I was just frustrated at the constant push back, with no valid reason for the slip. An official reason for the delay would help in understanding the situation. I have been following this thread from the beginning and I know there are people here who have been waiting longer than me, but everybody has a limit and I'm close to reaching it.
The supervisor never called me, I guess I'll be calling Apple tomorrow.
At least I have a 3 week vacation to look forward to....hopefully it will arrive before I leave....hang on....new ship date is the 15th of October and I leave on the 19th......nooooooooooooo
Push comes to shove
This is a tactic so they can be 'heroes' by delivering 'early' on 8 October (my birthday)!
P.S. I wonder which baby's going to get more attention in October... 😉

congrats!
Well, can't say congrats on your g5, but dude, congrats on your first newborn child! that's so much cooler than any computer could ever be. At least, that's what I think it is, when you can have this with the woman you love.
Hmm, that makes me wonder, what would be quicker :
- waiting for my G5 to arrive
- trying to get my girlfriend (if I had one) pregnant
😀

Definitely more fun than the wait,🙂 I'm sure.
Just checking on how things are going. Hang in there guys.
Hi Everyone
I feel for all of you who have had their order pushed out again and again. I am not sure if I would have it in me to wait three or more weeks after 3 plus months. Hang in there! 😉
Sorry, been working on my G5. As easy as everyone tellls me about macs, it took me a while to set up the two disk drives. Spending the time to understand solo-acts strategy helped alot. In my case it came at the right time. Thanks......
Here is the updated spreadsheets. Tell me directly or post errors/changes to your order.

It would be quicker for anyone to find and get someone pregnant compared to Apple delivering a G5 because.....
Unlike Apple, no one would ever think of postponing delivery 😉
Power Users, we
In many ways, I think a number of us are more tech-y than our Windows counterparts (and arguably more open-minded, and definitely more stylish!) 😉
That said, I am truly tempted to get the new G5 iMac -- because THEY ARE SHIPPING NOW!!!
I think we are true power users, and not the people who buy a Mac based on the 'three steps to connect to the internet' ad campaigns voiced-over by Jeff Goldblum.tamtam said:

haha, yes I know, but the truth is, I don't need a girlfriend right now, have had a couple relations a few months back, ranging from 6 months, to 2 years, but now i'm happy single, doing what I want, coming home when I want, going where I want. Spend money on what I want (G5 anyone? 😀)
oh well, i'm only 23, girlfriends will come, and go 😉
grebo said:
Trouble is this is not far from the truth. I have just received my email and it says.... 15th October not 21st September as I was told on the phone.
Re compensation, Apple have given me a voucher for £150 of my next purchase...
Hang on, did you get an ADDITIONAL discount? or are you merely mentioning the one we were offered at the end of August when they initially pushed it back to 03 September?JW Pepper said:
Still, you can apply that discount to the current order -- of course they want you to buy MORE stuff, but it should also be applicable to the current order. In my case, I applied it and it amounted to 176.25 discount, as it was pre-VAT.
Are we doing a deal, or are we doing a deal?
I'm thinking of getting a supervisor on the phone tomorrow with the following challenge:
I'll order a beefed up 20" G5 iMac -- and if they can get me my current CTO G5 order to me before the iMac arrives, I'll keep them both and be happy. If they fail, however, the iMac is FREE...
I hope I get a gambler on the line...
