My vote for shipping method will be: Goes from Shanghi to Alaska, then to Indianapolis, and then out from there. That is what my power adapter did when it came from Taiwan.
Got a tip for us?

Ordered my 15" 1.5Ghz G4 with some custom upgrades (128 VRAM , 5400RPM HDD etc)
ETA is 10-14 Working days order it on 21/4/04.
Can't wait to get it !!
I was told that if I wanted a 17" as is (no custom upgrades) would gave to wait around 4 weeks.

Well I was there today at lunch and asked specifically about this. 3 weeks unless configuration, which would likely appear 3rd week May...
We shall see

I popped into the Baulkham Hills Store yesterday as I was in the area just to ask them a few questions. Got the info from that Store.
Maybe perhaps ? Each Nextbyte Store have a Different ETA delivery times on new PowerBooks (which should not be).
Is nextbyte a Franchise ?

Maybe, I think they go off Apple's systems for release times. Good thing is you can get better deals and cheap ram. Apple don't do any deals online unless they're marketed.
Not sure about Franchise...

I wish I could figure out when it's going to actually leave China.
After only 31 hours at the Fedex location, my PB has now "Left FedEx Ramp". But it's still in Shanghai.
yes, next byte is a franchise. if you look at their site, www.nextbyte.com.au, they have stores all over australia. they have even started to go into the pc market, with a store somewhere in victoria that sells only pcs. also the brisbane store had 2 pc systems on display that i noticed when i went to order my ibook.

How do you think I feel?! I have about 20 mac magazines and half a dozen books in preparation for the switch...which took 8 months longer than I had hoped.
