Standard is 14 days, with a 10% extra "restocking" fee if the box has been opened.
Some posters say it's 30 days if a product is updated, but I haven't seen that policy in print.

It's not that unusual, actually. Usually there's a handful of emails every year that he responds to. The replies are usually extremely short and terse - maybe borderline rude. But it does happen.
Just found an old email to a customer from Steve Jobs, also says "Not to worry." I'd say the rumor is probably true.

yeah, werent there rumour about newzealand apple store had some leak, saying the New Macbbook Pro - Newly released in April etc
here's a little song steve wrote, and i'd like to sing it note for note - don't worry, be happy.
I can confirm the above Aussie deal is NOT to clear stock. Apple Australia have this deal every year for education buyers from January to the end of March. I've taken it up three years in a row.
I'm just hoping they update before March 31 when the deal runs out (as does the fringe benefits tax year).
Do you really expect a CEO of a company to give away future product information and release dates. Do you know what that would do to stores with existing stock? Stock prices, setting and example to other employees, and leaking information.
You were lucky to get even a slight optimistic hint from "do not worry"

I'm saying April 13 because it is a Tuesday just after the iPad announcement. This gives the iPad the limelight then just as the first pulse of excitement starts to fade Apple hits us with the MBP upgrades and they'll be really hot and get everyone excited all over again.
Meh, I still think sjobs@apple.om is a figurehead email going to some PR person.
His real email is something like thedoctor@apple.com You know, THE Doctor.

I agree. I think that's the most likely time as well (under the assumption that we don't have to wait till June).
No there was a rumour where Apple NZ/AU ads were inconsitent with the store pricings.
"Don't Worry" bull is just motivation so people keep waiting and not go the PC route. I know my money won't make a difference to Apple financially, but I will not fill in to this bureaucracy. Apple has been lately ripping off its customers indirectly by promoting outdated products that are falsely advertised as "cutting edge," thus misleading the average buyer to overspend. I understand it's people's choice to spend and give in, yet I think its unfair some of these buyers are uninformed.
My point is as buyers, ya'll should make educated choices, if waiting to chase the stream is your way, so be it... if you need a computer now, buy else where and get a better deal.

I thinks sjobs@apple.com forwards all incoming e-mail to thousands of other employees for multiple responses.
Depends on what the stock levels are like for the new models, major retailers can get them as quick as a day or two after the announcement which has happen in the past, however they wont receive major stock amounts usually just enough to put them on display and maybe 1 or 2 backup units to sell..... Apple shops will get the new pretty much straight away. I would not expect much stock available at launch at it is always in high demand.
MBP by May with Blu-Ray Maybe?
I hope the MBP comes out by May so that I can have it before RailsConf. I don't want to take my three year MBP 'cross country; it's kinda old for such a long trip.
Oh yea, please Steve, add a Blu-Ray player to the new MBPs. I know you want to sell movies through iTunes but I've been buying Blu-Ray DVDs for the last year and I like taking them when I travel. No offense but I don't want to have to buy or rent a movie when I have the DVD already. It's the least you could do considering I got my brother to buy a Mac, my mom, my mother-in-law, and a nephew. I could ask for a sales commission but I'll settle for a built-in Blu-Ray.
Thanks!

I'm thinking the 2nd week of April at this rate - there is no way Apple will introduce the new MBP within 2 weeks after the end of the 'Back to School' programme, only to see masses of kids rushing to swap their machines. This date would also allow the iPad to gain full publicity prior to its launch. Wonder if there's any bookie to take on bets?
