Okay I signed my contract today with the company I'm working with.

project = a 16 month company calendar featuring my art - 100,000 to be printed

So today I read the agreement and got my check and part of the agreement is my 17" PB

---

thanks to all the crazy talk on this forum I was forced to beg them to wait maybe until September 20th

----

the reply by email

nazaire,

Thanks for signing the agreement so quickly. I've noted your apartment number, and we'll be sure to use it when sending you the computer.

Unless the computer has been ordered already, we'll be happy to hold off until September 20th. I know how important it is to get the very latest version. By the way, my daughter bought a 17-inch Powerbook last winter, and she just loves it! She's using it for a lot of graphic design work.

I'll get back to you as soon as I find out whether we can hold off on the computer. Meanwhile, all the best -

----

for me whatever the next reply it will be great news!



I will post if it was ordered or not... soon

Good news, Naz. We haven't ordered the Powerbook yet, and I've instructed our buyer to wait until September 20 - and to verify that he's ordering the newest model.

If it's out earlier, let me know and we'll move up the purchase.

I hope next week the 18th is true


Man to think I could have asked for any computer I wanted. I gave up a dual G5 for this. Apple better not let me down.

I'm so excited
