Thanks to all who responded - I'm glad to hear that they are in fact shipping. The Apple Store has mine scheduled to ship on or before 10/26. I thought since I ordered on 9/24 that there might be some huge backorder or something. I think Murray may have given me a clue as to the problem - I ordered with Airport Extreme, Bluetooth & 250 GB drive. Maybe it has been flagged as a special order. In the meantime, if anyone has any experiences I would love to hear them. Regards, -Ben
