Anyone interested in a web forum dedicated to those using their MAC (New shiny 2.5's) for Audio / video work? It seems there are a bunch of us that do that kind of work ranging from hobby to pro and it may be a nice place where we can share our work and help each other ..

If you are interested then private e-mail me and if there are enough yes's i will get it setup ..

Thanks
I don't know any 2.5 forums except the g5support. But here are a couple established forums for audio/video.

My FedEx tracking finally moved just now. Geesh! What gives. States it "Left FedEx Sort Facility" at 3:48 pm. I wonder how fast it can reach here in Northern CA. Waiting...

Here's a good one--It's small, but growing ;)

http://www.coresoftcomputers.com/g5forum

Seriously though, I'm announcing that the first 10 new users there (actually until #12, because I'm the first 2) get set up as "Top 10"--So sign up quick, because this offer won't last long :D !

It's so cool being a forum admin ;)
 
I just signed up. I'm glad there will be form for the G5s other than mac rummors. I personally don't want to hear about all the new stuff I can't aford anymore that will be comming out, hehe.

The office couldn't go on without me today, so my day working from home and getting acquainted with my new Mac has been somewhat less than the honeymoon I expected, but the BIG DOG sure is nice...

Where's the plain old brushed metal photo album? I couldn't find it.

I've got at least three pages to read to catch up on this thread and I've only been gone a few hours. You guys sure are prolific posters today.

How did you teach your cat to open a box like that?

He can do just about anything he wants, but the truth is, he's dumb as a box o' rocks. That comes from him running head first into walls as a kitten. :eek: He's fast, but he can't turn on a dime like he thinks he can.

He wanted to climb into the G5 too after I took the panels off the side, but I just didn't think that was very cute, so he didn't get to. :rolleyes:
 
If I try to get one at retail store do u think I'm going to have to wait a long time? Are they going to be sold out forever?

I have a Pro Audio Users forum here.

G5 Pro Audio Users >>

Also, I will be giving away a G5 Owners Support Group mouse pad to a lucky member that post a review and /or pictures of their new 2.5GHz G5.

Stores in Manhattan that I contacted today said that the ealierst they expect stock from Apple is early to mid September. :(
 
Well...

My wait is over... I'm typing this on my new G5 right now.

It's worth the wait, guys. :D hang in there!
 
Back from the store...

Finally back from the storeS.
Bought too much stuff. Will need to take some back.
Picked up some Centon memory...2 512s at Circuit City for $199
Picked up a 250gb SATA drive for $199 at CompUSA (on advice of tech...but against my better judgement).
Picked up a Kinsington Mouse for $19 bucks at CompUSA
Picked up some component video cables to connect my AJA I/O to my HD monitor...ChaChing.
Picked up a Twix bar...all the shopping made me hungry.
Found an incredible disparity in pricing of 25ft Cat5 cable. Almost $40 bucks at CompUSA, just under $10 bucks at Target.
I also needed some RCA couplers (female on both ends), they were $7.99 each at CompUSA, $1.99 for some really nice gold plated ones at Best Buy, and $2.99 for a pair at Target.

Oh and the FireWire transfer brought over all of my info and apps, except Little Snitch (great app that tells you when other apps are trying to phone home), Tracktor (my serialized DJ application). While DVD Studio Pro came over without a problem, as well as FCP, I had to manually install Compressor and a.Pack.

iAm going to be up late connecting a bunch of stuff
 
The wrath of eBay

Just checked eBay.
I was only slightly surprised that nobody's trying to sell their new G5 for $10K and a kidney.
Hmmmmmmmm.
Nah, that's just taking advantage of the mentally challenged.

iAm not gonna profit from someone's stupidity or total lack of patience...unless they really do have more money than sense. :D
 
Is this the last post for the day? Final check with FedEx...it's now in Oakland...15mins away from SF as of 8.59pm. I sure do hope that people who have their shipments stuck in Indianapolis since yesterday receive their units tom already. And of course a shipment notice for the others soon. Good night, guys. Zzzz.

LeonPro, sleep well because I can garauntee that you will be awaken by the call of the FedEx truck. You've got a long day ahead of you, believe me...I know.

iAm sure that G5s are coming your way.
 
Has anyone in the UK or Europe received a shipping confirmation from Apple, or a ship date before 20/8?

I ordered stock with Bluetooth module on 9 June - no joy.
And I paid in advance!
When I see US customers who ordered after me get theirs first, it makes me sad.

Oakland? I live in Oakland, maybe you should just tell me your tracking number and I will take care of your baby for an extended period of time. Don't worry, no charge!
Anyways, my order was about a month later (July 6) than all of the others on this board but I thought that I would point out that at some point I believe they are going to switch operations to Sacramento which is where I was told my computer is coming from (by two Apple employees on the phone). Now what really puzzles me is that your package went though Indianapolis, is this correct? Isn't that coming in the completely wrong direction especially if it followed the pattern of the others and came through Alaska first?

You forgot to mention:

Walking with all that stuff trough the mall, wearing a 5$ T-shirt saying: Iam the proud owner of a new G5 dual 2.5: PRICELESS!!
 
Hi all,

I'm lurking around for some time now following this thread. Are there any G5 sightings in Europe yet. Mine should have been delivered by today, but no shipping confirmation so far... :(

WOA
 
Did you get that 8/6 date by mail or by looking at the order status page?
I'd call Apple to know for sure, if I was you, let us know if you do!

I forgot to mention that I got that "delivery date postponed mail" in German which says that the G5 will be delivered on or before 8/27/...
Anyway the order status at my account still says 8/6. I'm just wondering what's going on. :rolleyes:

WOA
