I ordered an iMac a few weeks ago, unfortunetly it had a stuck pixel on the screen and I called apple and after talking with them for a few minutes I got them to send me a new one, so I sent that one back and they said I would have my new one by August 22nd, I looked at the order status today and it said estimated shipped by September 7th. I really cannot see any other reason for a delay besides an update, and Im fine with that. This is extremely weird that I have this kind of 'bad luck'. It happens with almost every computer I buy and every cell phone I buy. I buy a new product that I think will not be outdated for a while, something goes wrong with it and in the process of exchanging it an update comes out and I receive the update. Happened with an ibook, mac mini, and now an iMac and my Sony Ericsson w600i.
