Easy Major Tom, Jim Kirk likes his Apple's but, just, as archipellago says, not this particular issue. Anyway, his post put a smile on my face.
Got a tip for us?

Has anyone received their new yellow free quad core imacs (week 6 or later)?

Sometimes I feel disgusted whenever I see posts that tell people to go to windows. Do you realize we are on a MAC FORUM?
Come on dudes. Figure it out. We don't want to use Windoze morons. Ever thought about people reporting problems are actually OS X users?
I doubt some of you that tell people to buy the new iMacs actually own one sometimes. Most of the iMacs screens I have seen are far from acceptable (and I am just a regular consumer who usually don't give a damn about these things). I don't know about you, but I look at websites with white backgrounds in a daily basis.
Yeah Apple Care is great. Apple products usually work perfectly fine right out of the box. That was what I would expect as none of my Apple products (3 ipods 2 iphones 1 imac 1 mbp 1 mb) have had any issues whatsoever. And while they all have screens, all of them can display white as white.

My Lord, Steve must bloody love you. Respect
JUST got the email saying my 27" iMac shipped. It is supposed to arrive by the 21st. I thought I paid for 2-3 day shipping but I see in all my documentation that it says expedited shipping.
LOL So much for quoting...
Maybe you meant where? It was from the Online Apple Store US gov employee purchase site.
My status has now changed to 'Prepared for Shipment'. ( Ordered through apple on campus Australia on 28/12/09 ).

....and 3x Apple wireless aluminum keyboards, 2x Magic Mouse, and I'm pretty sure I'm forgetting something.
*EDIT*
Looking up at what I just typed, I suddenly feel tingly sensations in my nether regions...
I forgot to add the apple tv
I also have 3 magic mice 3 wireless keyboards and some other stuff.
I also have a quad core windows box and a windows home server box, a 24 inch LG monitor and some other gear like my 2 50 inch plasmas.
Forgot to add my 2 ps3s and xbox 360s and dell mini 9.
You have me beat but it is not really a contest.

wouldnt be in a hurry to get it..
They havent sorted out the problems plaguing these imac's. I'd want to delay it as long as it takes them. They are replacing mine...not willing to accept yellow tinging..and they dont know whats causing this problem. its not flashing anymore or doing other weird stuff..but if the yellow whites dont bother you, then have it shipped sooner. I will refuse the next one also if its like this one, until they give me a good unit.

Rep02
I was called by Apple that the shipping was delayed until the 21th.
On-line it even was set to the 28th of this month.
Today i got shipping info that tells me it will be delivered the 21th?!?
Strange thing is: this time the order number contains the following:
W9****/REP02. Does anybody know what REP02 means?
[EDIT]
I already know; replacement number 2. Stupid me...
Hopefully without the yellow screen

Yay... I just received an email to tell me that my i7 has shipped I hope it arrives before Friday lunch time, because we are going away for 4 days. I hope everyone else has theirs shipped soon too, and fingers crossed for problem free machines.

hmm..not me. It's still the same, 28th Jan.
Hope to recieve the same good news during the day.
Refresh Button here we go!
How many grey hairs you have grown? lolol
have a little faith, you'll see that you will get a good one
I do hope that the replacement is a good one
However based on my luck and what others have been receiving here it is not likely that the issue is fixed.
I will be getting a week 2 which others have reported still have the yellow screens so I am not confident.
I guess I'll know tomorrow when it arrives.

picked up my third i5 today
1st had a damaged screen
2nd lots of flickering/blackouts when i would first boot up, then it would not flicker at all, even 15+ hours a day of usage
picked up my third one today, it's January 19, but it's a week 53 machine ..... so have they actually released new ones in 2010??? has there been anything after week 53?
