It's just a shame that after 6 weeks since it's introduction, the shipping time, according to the apple store online, is 5-7 weeks--which isn't much better than the 7-10 they had the day it was announced. 5 weeks puts it at the end of march, 7 weeks is 3 months after the announcement. That seems insane to me. Ah well, it's apple, right? Benn
