[Ti] More 17" Delays.....

[Bill Reburn]

Unfortunately I am just totally not surprised.

Why do us Apple owners go through this EVERYTIME a new model is released? We
all know Apple plays the pre-release announcements this way. How or why
people just have to wrap their lives around buying a computer I do not know.

Like I said to those who were expecting to get there machines when
originally informed - don't get your hopes up!

I am not supporting what they're doing.. It's just that this is NOT new.
Not to mention, considering this is a first generation release - what are
the delays really about?
