Hey, I just ordered an iMac G5 1.6GHz. I really can't wait to get it. Although i hear it comes form texas? (the guy on the phone said that). And i like all the way up in Canada. So that makes it worse, it should be in next week though. I can't wait to open up the box to my first Mac. I'll probably post some pic's when i get it, and might have a few tiny questions. Hopefully my Mac experience goes great!

oh yeah, any one else order online from ontario?? how long did it take approx. thanks.

talk to you guys when i get my mac ! :D

Texas? Try Shanghai, People's Republic of China.

Anyway, congratulations. I know you've been waiting longer than I have for a Mac and your patience has finally paid off.

Hm. ok then. i guess it would be faster then because of the air travel. Waiting sucks definatly. I have been for so long, and now waiting for it to arrive is worse. It says "Est. Ship Feb 22" Since last night... CAN"T WAIT!

I was waiting for like a year before I could get my mac then when I ordered it
it said 3-4 weeks

It was painfull, but the saying is true

Good things come to those who wait :p

Yeah, it sucks doesn't it. The pro-Microsoft people will always be pro-Microsoft, even when a worm like Blaster or Klez bites them right in the ***, they format their hard drives and keep on using Windows because "that's how it's supposed to be."

I didn't want to wait on my mini so I just bought it locally even though that meant I didn't get any options, waiting sucks.

Felt the same way about the mini, I couldn't wait and purchased it at the local Apple store. You could always upgrade it yourself :cool:
Very easy to do, and there are plenty of sites which show you how...

"shaun89" congrats on the imac purchase! The G5's are awesome computers. More often than not, I stop by the apple store and spend way to much time playin' with the G5's on display. :cool:

I have already upgraded the ram, I don't know where to buy a compatible Airport card and BT adapter.

Congrats on the purchase shaun. I've only had my iMac for about three weeks and I don't know how I ever lived without it. :D You're gonna love your new computer.

Why does it take so long to ship???? I mean the Apple Store here has tons of them and the dreaded CrapUSA has a ton of them as well (7 to be exact).
