5. Personally, I think it's a mistake.
Case closed. With a yawn.

6. "...they still hadn't finished the OS-- they were working on the last bugs"

How could any company possibly be still working on a product that's being released in a week, just having to burn, package and ship millions of dvd's requires time, if they're not finished by now then there's something wrong with Apple.

7. Stephen: you don't really understand how these things work, do you? They're not done yet. Everything won't be in place until the 26th at 5:00PM Pacific. But it will all fall together :)

8. Guys gotta read better... says delivers ON October 26th. So you'll have it then. :)

9. **Yawn**

Seriously, does a team of monkeys put out TUAW?

Then again, maybe I shouldn't complain: at least it's not the 600th useless iPhone story of the week.

10. well... we're assuming a lot here... all he's got to do is check the tracking number to see if indeed there is a package coming :)

i agree with stephen... to deliver by the 26th, they had a lot of work to do by now... this thing was 'mastered' some time ago if you ask me

11. Ill let you guys know tomorrow!

12. The tracking number isnt a real tracking number it just brings me to Apple's website, and shows me the order history.

13. Apple's shipping is false, i ordered my 24" iMac with a 2 to 3 days shipping on it, said it would ship on the third day, but kept pushing back for like 3 weeks until it shipped.

14. Why did this fellow post this *before* he got the shipment?

If there really is a Leopard box on its way to Canada via Airborne Express, I'm sure that Steve is going to stop it. A quick call to the CEO, explaining that they'd better not deliver the package if they ever want to ship another Apple product again should fix it.

I'm curious though - why is the carrier listed as Airborne? Airborne Express was bought by DHL about four years ago...

15. I swear.. why do people take the time to write "**Yawn**" and complain about monkeys running this site? If you dont like it, read something else. I swear if I ran a blog like this, I'd honestly ban anyone who use "yawn", "First post", "old news", etc etc....

16. This won't arrive tomorrow. He won't get it until a few days after the 26th

17. Interestingly, I selected standard 5 day shipping. It said delivers by the 26th and I though good luck. My shipping got automatically upgraded to priority overnight on the orders site today for free. Go apple! Sounds like they will need right up to the last minute to get this baby ready for delivery... ;)

18. 1) I *KNOW* where it's being replicated and it'll be kitted in Mexico (boxes, documentation, etc).

2) There may be quantity of product available as early as today... There's absolutely NO WAY the product will be available and in anyone's hands as finished goods tomorrow. No way. No how.

19. Why is a student copy more expensive at Apple.com than the retail version on Amazon.com?

Posted at 1:32AM on Oct 18th 2007 by Joe

20. Question if I ordered a Mac say on the 24th, it would ship with 10.4, would I still have to pay the $9.95 for shipping of Leopard? I mean it wouldn't arrive until after the 26th.

I can see them charging for refurbs, but seriously if you buy one in the store after the 26th they should through in Leopard...even if the computer itself was delivered to the store before the 26th... At least that is the impression I got from reading the website on upgrading to Leopard.
