i dunno, they're being kinda gay about it but i think its at home now. it got shipped there because if i switched it to my dorm addy a few weeks ago, i would have gone back about 7-10 weeks on the ship list. ima get it next weekend during fall break.

Shipping is delayed cause it's the back to school season and everyone wants a computer yesterday, so no one wants to wait. The average ship time for a computer right now is about 4 weeks.

just wait til the 64-bit Athlon comes out, and you will have even less company in the pro-Apple club.

The G5 kicks serious ass. My local apple shop has one. The icons dont even bounce once before the program opens. It's crazy
Alyeska is the best place in AK, and it sucks.

recieved my 1.8 G5 a week ago. Currently it is now in an apple care center. Get this.. i turned it on the other day, nothing came up on the screen.. after a few minutes, the computer started getting LOUDER..the fans started spinning faster and faster until after a few minutes it peaked out at this rediculously loud noise..scared the shit out of me so i turned it off and called apple..after resetting the memory and trying all this other stuff nothing worked, i took it to an apple care center to get it looked at.. no one knows exactly whats wrong with it but they are guessing its a hardware problem... soooo i have my G5 and its fucking awesome, cept its in someones office...meh
