As some of you may have read in "Big Problems with 12incher" Apple has replaced my Powerbook. I just got the new one today. I have seen a HUGE speed increase over my 1Ghz. I think most of that is due to the 5400rpm hd over the extra 500mhz.
Anyway here is a pic. Everything works great.

How is your screen?

Everything seems to be working fine. The screen does look better on the rev.d over the old rev.b I had. I also know it will look even better once I have my friend calibrate it. I can calibrate it my self but, he has a better eye for those things as he is a graphic designer.
The one thing I still want is a LCD but, Tiger OS X Server and Tiger "Client have drained my funds for the next 4-6 months.

I just got a brand new 15" PB. Shipped from China. I ordered tuesday after the Tiger announcement (BTO), it shipped tuesday afternoon, and arrived friday morning.
April 13 - 8:20pm Fed Ex recieved it
9:10pm shipped
3:46pm Arrived in Alaska (time difference)
April 14 - Went to Memphis, TN; then Mississagua, Ontario
April 15 - Arrived in Calgary in wee hours of the morning, and went for delivery to my house.
So if yours doesnt have to go through customs twice (US and Canada), it may be quicker
