Delivery Dates
As I previously mentioned, I pre-ordered GarageBand (and the JamPack) last week. At the time I ordered it from the Apple Store, the “Shipping Date” was listed as “Delivery by 1/16″ - the same day iLife ‘04 is scheduled to hit stores. I also got free 2nd day air shipping.
I checked my order status today. My order is listed as open, with an estimated shipping date of “on or before 1/15/04″. If it ships on the 15th by 2nd day air, I don’t see how it will arive by the 16th. We’ll soon see.
In related news, I ordered an extra 512M of RAM for my PowerBook from Crucial Monday. I got an excellent price ($138), and free second day air shipping. It shipped Monday, and will arrive today (Wednesday). Everyone said Crucial is the place to order memory for Mac; it seems they were correct.
I also bought a 61 key USB MIDI controller (Keyboard) on eBay; hopefully it’ll will arive by Friday as well. Can you tell I’m excited about GarageBand?
Update: As of 4:30pm Eastern, my Apple Store order is partially shipped. For a while, earlier today, it was listed as partially shipped, but both items were listed as open (i.e., unshipped). Now iLife ‘04 is showing up as shipped via FedEx 2nd Day Service. What’s really interesting is that the FedEx pick-up scan is only about 80 miles from my home. So, they have two days, and 80 miles to go. Will they take both days? I certainly hope not. Now, when will my Jam Pack ship?

Wow, someone is anxious :-p
I want GarageBand! But my 500Mhz G3 iBook doesn’t even meet the minimumest of the requirements :( Hey, while you wait for your packages to make the 80 mile trek, you can implement formatting and preview in your comment system ;)
While I wait…
Looks like I will be waiting, too. The package is now futher away (it made it to the Sorting center), but hasn’t moved since 9pm last night. It would have been faster by standard UPS, I think. In a way that’s good… I have a business dinner tonight, so I wouldn’t get to play with it anyway. And yes, improving the comment system is way up on my list of things to do… right behind pouring all my free time in GB ;) My Powerbook is the G4 867mHz, and I just tripled the memory; so I’m hoping performance won’t be too bad.
