More 17" Delays.....

MacNN reader Roger Baerwolf writes: "I was just informed that my 17” 
PowerBook ordered from Apple’s Web store during Jobs’ keynote at 
MacWorld, has been pushed from a Feb. 20 ship date to April 10th! A 
three-month wait from announcement!" Mr. Baerwolf says he will consider 
canceling his order. Update: A number of MacNN readers report that 
while Apple specifies distant delivery dates, shipments usually arrive 
far earlier. Carlos Pero writes "please note 4/10 is 7 weeks from 
today, which is the longest you would wait if you were ordering it 
today on the Apple Store." Update: Roger Baerwolf writes back: 
"According to the phone staffer I spoke with at Apple, the machines 
ordered the day of the announcement will now not be available any 
earlier than March 20th and as late as April 10th, a total wait of 
10-13 weeks from the date of the announcement."

*sigh*
