PowerMac 2.0GHz Machines - 10-15 Business Days
Apple has sent out emails to at least some individuals who have ordered a PowerMac G5 2.0GHz machine indicating that due to demand and the filling of educational institutional orders, they can expect their Dual G5s to be sent in 10-15 business days.
The demand for the dual processor PowerMac has been overwhelming and our
employees are working around the clock to meet demand. Initial units will be
sent to education institutions to meet key back to school deadlines. We
currently anticipate shipping your new G5 PowerMac in 10-15 business days.
This includes orders which were placed on June 23rd -- the first day that the PowerMac G5s were available for order. Several readers note that they have been offered discounts and shipping upgrades from Apple after complaining or attempting to cancel their orders.
