And while waiting for a rev. b or c of the G5 might get you a faster and even more advanced computer, I highly doubt that the rev. a will have any technical problems.
The times when Apple's first revisions of Macs didn't work properly are long gone.

There's advantages to both.
Nice to have a choice.

Hope to give a "Leader" soon.

Any explanation why? Considering you already told them 'no' on the G5.
Post by: sokukodo on July 14, 2003, 08:42:44 PM
item(s) by the date that you were originally quoted:
... and then it goes on to list the G4 I ordered.
Post by: Bill on July 14, 2003, 09:03:34 PM
Hope you get it (should) on the 24th.

Sort of coexist with your predicament ... sort of.

... I went with the G5 for $300 cheaper. The new system:250 Gigs of HD
2 Gigs of RAM
Radeon 9800 Pro graphics card
Superdrive
I already have the 20" Cinema Display.
What I forgot to ask the rep is, will the M-audio Revolution sound card work with the G5? I'm assuming it will.
I asked him when it will be delivered, and he said "some time in August ...", and that because I ordered originally on 6/11/03, I "would be at the top of the list for delivery ..." (yeah, right!)
Am I happy? yes ... but ... I AM SO FRUSTRATED!

The Card will probably work. Have to wait and see.
On the other hand.
You're going to have the fastest computer on the planet.*
*Allegedly.

Brought up the 1.42 DP in the conversation.
He made the comment that he would be surprised if there were any 1.42s still left in the apple camp. Then he said jokingly apples production belt has been cleaned off and ready-to-rock with the G5.

250 Gigs of HD
Two 125 HDs or one 250?!?

Which G5 did you go for? The dual 2ghz, 1.8, or 1.6?
The dual 2 GHZ ... it was $300 cheaper than the dual 1.42 I had originally ordered.
thanks tonye!

Hey, look at it this way......at least you'll be getting a computer...it will be a G5....the fastest one Apple makes.......then you get to give us every gory detail on how fast, quite, shiny, powerful the little bugger is!

Congratulations on your new G5! I'm sure you'll be happy with your decision to go that route.
Did you get the AppleCare with it? For all the trouble, Apple should give that to you.
Post by: sokukodo on July 20, 2003, 11:25:25 AM
I've had the Applecare package since the 11th or 12th of June as well as the 20' Display. I'm on "pins and needles" until the G5 ships!

Not sure how applecare works as far as retroactive [could look up mine I suppose] but I'd take a look at the fine print.
Why have it 'wasting' days/weeks when you haven't received the G5 yet.
Then again the machines "ID" has to be punched into their data banks for applecare to be active.
This post will self-destruct in ten hours.
