Did some ******* just delete all the data from the "date ordered" column?????

EDIT: seems like the dates are moved up. Some one deleted a bunch of data.

Someone messed it all up, and yes some data seems to be missing. . . Someone deleted my info totally. I hate people like this that wants to screw things up for others. I am done with this spreadsheet, it's ruined, and I am not going to fix it when others want to tear it down.
 
I just restored the spreadsheet to a version from about 2 hours ago. It seems back to normal now, but any legitimate updates made after this version will have been lost.

I think that users who aren't familiar with Google Docs and Excel-like spreadsheets are making unintentional mistakes and don't know how to fix them.

Ok thanks for doing that. I hope people aren't doing this on purpose.

i just noticed that my bank authorized a $30.00 preauthorization. The first time was over $2700 dollars then it dropped off, so I wonder if that is a sign mine is going to be shipped soon.
 
I see these stats when I look at the spreadsheet for the following dates of orders:
Jan 14, Jan 15, Jan 16 and Jan 17.

14th has 3 out of 5 of their orders move to Prepared for Shipment already.

15th has None of their 6 orders logged & are still listed as :processing Items.

16th has 1 out of 3 of their orders move to Prepared for Shipment already.

17th has 2 listed on spreadsheet and they both moved to Prepared.

This is so weird how Apple is setting priorities on which order ships and which order waits longer.
 
I am wondering about the same thing. I have tried to look back at the previous dates in January and it seems they don't ship that many iMacs on the weekends. Extremely little on Sundays.
I hope mine gets shipped today:(
 
Looking at the spreadsheet, I see most of the iMacs that are shipping are the ones with Fusion Drives. Guess Apple counted on selling a ton with Fusion. I ordered mine Jan 15th and no prepared for shipment yet. :mad:
 
Looks like someone has mucked up a lot / all of the dates. Mine has been changed from ordered on the 26th Jan to ordered on the 24th, a lot of other dates have changed too and a there are a load of random orders at the bottom of the last page.

I've changed mine back, but it's not particularly accurate anymore.

I changed mine yesterday to preparing and today I see it is back to processing again on the spreadsheet. Either somebody does not know what they are doing when updating the spreadsheet or we have someone trying to mess up the sheet.
 
changed mine today to Shipped . I checked it yesterday and it was still processing . I guess it prepare to ship happen sometime last night and this afternoon .
 
changed mine to preparing yesterday, was hoping to change it to shipped in the one day, but alas, the suspense is killing me...

We need a button on the apple 'order status' page that states'

'Click here for a live webcam of your imac'

PLUS

'Click this to send your iMac quicker'

ha ahh well, i can only wish:D
