well i just spoke to someone at UPS International after my package came up with an exception code. Looks like it might miss a flight out of the phillippines. Right now it is scheduled for delivery on the 13th pending customs and if this delay might actually delay my delivery.
I'm hoping!!

Cable space is tight, but just about ok.

Ah...Delivery Exceptions. I had one of those on a 50" Sony by FedEx freight. I was on the phone trying to get an explanation and eventually one of the trackers indicated to me..."quite frankly we lost the shipment!"
I'm sure that is not the case but s*** happens. Hope you get on the flight and get it on the 13th. I am anxious to get the shipping data so I can track this baby across the Pacific to Sin City.
I'm hoping this too. I can't wait for it to arrive. The nice thing is that **hopefully** it will arrive on friday, gives me the weekend to play with it.
From Sent to Manufacturing to Processing Order
I ordered my new G5 20" on Tuesday right after they were announced, just added a BT keyboard and mouse. I called today, and was told that it would be shipped today.
Then this afternoon my order went from manufacturing order to processing order, it appears they cancelled the original order and replaced it with an identical one, with the addition of the modem kit? not sure what this means, but it still says estimated ship of today. hope the thing gets on its way soon.
anybody else had a similar experience?

First thing to do with new iMac
I have my 17" on order - hasnt moved from processing order since last Tuesday.
I'll be switching to Mac from Windows - dawn of a new age for me. What's the first thing everyone is doing with their new iMac? Video creation? Photo editing?
What additional apps should I purchase out of the gate? Games? Additional utilities?
Cant wait!

Exact thing happen to me!
They cancelled the original iMac and gave me a new one. Now its in processing order.Look what happend.
They replaced my iMac ( IMACG5 20/2.0GHZ/SD CTO) today, I ordered 5/6. I check my update and it say's "Replaced with new product" which is IMACG5 20/2.0GHZ/512/250/SD/BT/AP-USA. Why did they replace it? What is the difference between "SD CTO" and "AP-USA"?
IMACG5 20/2.0GHZ/SD CTO
Vs.
IMACG5 20/2.0GHZ/512/250/SD/BT/AP-USA
It could mean faster delivery or longer wait.
Could have gotten stuck in the system. Best to delete and recreate. Happens all the time. However Apple is the first such system where the end user is notified of a new order.
Now here is another weird one for everyone.
Ordered my mac on Friday afternoon, when it went to preparing shipment they reserved the dollar amount on my debit card / checking account. However now the dollar amount is available again. I called my bank and they said that the hold of funds was let go by the merchant as it was invalid.
They will probably end up billing me again but thats the first time I have had that.

What I meant to say that Apple deleted your original order and recreated it.
Companies do this all the time however this is first time I have seen the user notified about a sku change etc etc etc.

Shipped
Just got FedEx shipping information and my 20" iMac is scheduled for delivery on Friday the 13th (hope that is not an omen) by FedEx Ground. It does not appear the order was shipped from China based on the FedEx tracking data

All I have to say is that this bites and that tomorrow I am calling Applecare and I am going to bitch and moan until I get some sort of credit plus shipping refund.
My stock 20" shipped out just before midnight... from New Jersey, on its way to Connecticut. Scheduled for a Thursday delivery, and that was with the cheap shipping!
what is up with this... no offense to people that didn't pay for shipping... but i paid for my shipping and my computer is somewhere in the phillippines.
Apple sent me a "shipped" notice on Saturday. And FedEx received the package data on Sunday night... but it didn't actually appear to be going anywhere. The expected arrival as of earlier today was still Friday, 5/13. I called Apple after I got home from work and had checked the status again. It was still "package data transmitted to FedEx." Sometime between when I checked the status at home and when I called (a space of 5 minutes), the tracking magically changed to "arrived at FedEx location." I guess it was just sitting @ Apple for 2 days? And the expected arrival changed from Friday to Saturday.
I'm a little miffed about that. I got the free shipping, but I didn't see the option for expedited shipping when I ordered (fast fingers, ordering too quickly).

(your answer will make me swtich
Since the Rev. B's came out I never understood all the people that were worried that the 9600 would not work with Core Image. Apple's site makes no mention of the 9600 working with Core Image, but some common sense needs to be in place. If the FX5200 Ultra was supported I HIGHLY doubt Apple would replace that card with one that was not supported. I mean if they did, that would have been the single most asinine thing ever done in the world of every product and device ever made.

I suggest an ipod, a guitar, a midi keyboard, a blutooth phone, and if you can afford it a Digital video camera
Everything else is already on the mac! If you are a student/pro, Keynote is good to show off with
