Just talked to my local Apple Store. Their words: "Come by tonight, we will have them."

I could have my iMac today!!! It's been almost four years since my switch and I can't wait to get my 2nd Mac!

Anybody else getting similar answers?

GRRRR...

I went by last night and the story had completely changed! Had to go through a lousy CSR at the Charlotte store before I got somebody who seemed to care/have a clue/be able to help. It seems that the store will call me when they have some in stock. Anyone else in this situation?

Congrats to all who are getting your new iMacs! Still waiting on a 20" to find its way to me!

Can't you just copy your Microsoft User Data folder from your Documents folder over to the new machine?

OK, I've stopped pretending to work today. Anyone interested in first impressions? (I opened the box, stopped myself from touching anything and washed my hands carefully first. It's that shiny. I'd only seen an iMac in an Apple Store before, and they don't stay so clean for long. ....)

Wow, congratulations!
Maybe I should invest in a pair of white iMac silk gloves ;)
Please, tell us more!

Like yesterday. I am going to start calling stores around 1:00pm - 1:30pm.

Based on my order and othes for the 20", I think next week is when they will ship to stores and online customers. Whether they will ship from China or US warehouses is anyones guess.

Let us know if you find one somewhere...

I'm very happy with those results...

here is your machine compared to my Dual 1.25

I'll do it again when I get Tiger installed, but overall, it looks to be a better machine. Its a sad day when your wife's soon to be iMac is faster than your machine.....

My 20" should be shipped today. It has been changed to preparing shipment as of last night. So I would imagine that they should be on their way to stores as well. (I'm in the US by the way).
