Hey good timing. LOL

If the demand is so high, we should all call and pester them, demand they just ship the MacPros now and X1900s later. I mean we're all just waiting to give them money....

At least they told you that it would push you to the end of the line..... :(:(:(:(:(:(

That dumb bitch that I talked too told me that it wouldn't change anything. I hope she gets burned alive.

Anyway, my Mac Pro is not just for gaming. I also do Audio production.

And also, I just upgrade my Mac every 3 years or so, and I like to have the best so it'll last longer....


Wow. No need to be so angry it is just a computer. If you would just relax and leave it alone your date wouldnt have been pushed back. Just go hibernate for a month, and then you will have a Mac Pro. Jeez.

Totally kidding.

No. My Mac Pro is shipping SOON!

I feel like singing the Eminem song "Go to Sleep", with slightly altered lyrics....

"I ain't gonna eat, I ain't gonna sleep
Ain't gonna breathe, til I see, what I wanna see
And what I wanna see, is my order ship, in the dirt
Permanently, you just being hurt, this ain't gonna work
For me, it just wouldn't be, sufficient enough
Cuz we, are just gonna be, enemies
As long as we breathe, I don't ever see, either of us
Coming to terms, where we can agree
There ain't gonna be, no reason, speakin wit me
You speak on my seed, then me, no speakin Englais
So we gonna beef, and keep on beefin, unless
You're gonna agree, to ship my order, the very best
And settle this face to face, and you're gonna see
A demon unleashed in me, that you've never seen
And you're gonna see, this gangsta pee on himself
I see you apple, and thanks, but me need no help
Me do this one all by my lonely, I don't need fifteen of my homies
When I see you, I'm seeing you, me and you only
We never met, but best believe you gon' know me
When I'm this close, to see you exposed as phony
Come on, bitch, show me, pick me up, throw me
Lift me up, hold me, just like you told me
You was gonna do, that's what I thought, you're pitiful
I'm rid of you, all you, Ja, you'll get it too!"

Ugh, I wouldn't go through with this if I wasn't tired of not being able to play games at all on my old eMac and getting kicked around on Halo because of lag. So much waiting...

This is terrible on either Apple's or ATI's part. Obviously the system was going to be in high demand. And it's not very good to have nothing shipped out at all for 3+ weeks after the announcement.

I don't understand why they can't tell us WHY the delay. It would at least give us some peace. It's not like that's hugely classified, it doesn't hurt anyone to tell us. Ugh.

That's why I think we have a good chance of an X1950XTX. They aren't willing to tell us, because they want it to be a surprise.

Keep dreaming.

Why the surprise? Apple has rarely been in the business of offering surprises unless there was a business motivation on their part. (Or a few private, harsh words with Intel on the pricing Apple was getting on CPUs)

Or maybe it has to do with the fact that they are taking that funny picture off the card...

<SNIP>

Look at the image of the card. It's white on the fan thingy. Instead of showing that girl with a sword. Could apple be replacing all those parts of the card with blank white ones?

Maybe, maybe not... or it could be simply that they can't take a series of 64K ROM boards, and use 128K ROM images on them. ;)

Oh, and I would nuke that link if I were you. It has your session info in it... which means anyone can peek at your orders.

It's up to you know, if you nuke it. Because you quoted it. Why don't you please nuke it?

WebObjects failing spectacularly to track users correctly in the EDU store... hence why you shouldn't link from a non-public store. ;)

Edit: I probably wouldn't link while logged in on the regular store either, actually...

The link you posted was from the Educational store, not from the main store. The discount stores are not expected to have links shared around, thus some session information may be getting stored differently.

It isn't safe to link from these discount Apple store sites since there is no telling what personal information is encoded in the URL... or stored server-side without the use of a cookie. Any user who clicked on that link who then logged in would 'gain ownership' of that session, and so when you went back to check, you saw their session (which was previously yours).

Also, there is usually a click-through agreement telling you not to link the EDU store...

Oh well, I'm going to bed.

When I wake up, I expect to see a dozen or so ecstatic posts, raving about how "The X1900XT's are shipping! The X1900XT's are shipping!" :D

Goodnight.

I'll probably be up for another couple hours anyhow.....

I have my doubts about tomorrow. Didn't some Apple reps say 30th at the earliest?

I'm am happy that my 3 weeks is up though. :D Now I can officially be excited without feeling foolish.

Glassbathroom, I think you are just a bit too happy. I know I won't be anywhere near as happy when mine eventually ships. ;)

Mine has shipped today with Airport Extreme (& 7300GT). 7 days ahead of Apples estimate.

Hopefully that means that mine should be shipping soon ;)
