I'm very sorry to hear that!  I've heard conflicting reports about 
the 12" PowerBook shipments as well.  I'm not sure why mine is 
shipping before others who ordered well before me, but it may be due 
to me not ordering additional memory from Apple, although it is a CTO 
order with the AirPort Extreme card and 60GB hard drive.  Checked 
again this morning and it's at Fedex's depot in Indianapolis, so it 
may be here Monday!

I don't know what the situation is in your part of the world, but in 
the U.S. the Apple Stores and dealers have some of the stock 15" 
models in their inventories.  Perhaps call around and see if you can 
just walk in and buy one?
