iMac order delayed until next tuesday, the 11th!

[iindigo]

Could this be true!? I ordered a 15" iMac and 12" iBook direct from Apple yesterday and today it says it's not shipping until the 11th, which just happens to be next Tuesday!

What do you guys think of it?

G5 iMac!! or more likely 1.33GHZ and 1.5GHZ speed bumps

the imac *has* to be updated soon... it's such a bad buy right now that it's not even funny anymore (no offense to anyone who's bought one...). Much more expensive than an emac, and worse. I really expected it the week after the 'books, but alas, no. Next week would not surprise me at all.

No offense taken

It was a gift order - I don't even have to pay for it so lol I'm not complaining. The iMac is for me, and the iBook is for someone else in the family.

Not bad, but terrible!

I'm also looking for a better iMac. These models now any funny -- way too overpriced, and waaay inferior to any decent Wintel offer, and now even to tiny eMac.
And I still cannot believe - since its introduction 2 years ago, iMac speed increased only by 50% (800 MHz -> 1.2 GHz)!? Hey Apple, what are doing over there?!!
Beautiful machine, but horrible hardware specs!

Yeah no kidding. The iMac really does need an update very badly. More like a major overhaul. If they only update it 1.5 Ghz, I will lose alot of faith in Apple. I am hoping something new will come at WWDC.
