Apple ships 17" PowerBooks to customers

updated 02:25 pm EST, Mon March 17, 2003

A MacNN reader notes that Apple has begun shipping 17" PowerBook to individual customers (as well as resellers): "I ordered a 'lunch tray' PB (17" PB) during the keynote in January. I actually waited on the phone with my sales rep. while the internal order and sales systems at Apple were "bounced" so the newly announced products were being made available to order. Today, I see that my credit card has been charged for the order. This is a clear indication that the order is going out today (Federal mail order statutes require a credit card not be charged before the day a product ships). The order status on the Apple web site has not updated yet, though I expect it to later today to indicate the order has shipped." (We reported that Apple began .

Hey, in case you hadn't noticed, Apple has had a 15" PowerBook out for more than a year. If you're referring to some new PB model, how do you know that a new 15" is coming? Some rumor site, that's how, which may or may not have any claim to accuracy (most don't). Don't blame Apple for not fulfilling what some rumor site claims.

Regarding 15"

Apple will not update the 15" for while. Why? They still need a professional laptop that will run OS 9 for the Quark-heads.

Hello. Congrats on receiving the coolest new toy soon.


I was hoping someone may be able to help me. The reader who contributed to this article wrote:

"(Federal mail order statutes require a credit card not be charged before the day a product ships)."

I have been having lots of trouble with a company who charged me months ago for a product I still haven't received... long story, but does anyone (the contributer, perhaps?) know where I can find details on this particular law?

Thanks!

Hey, can't we get these losers to just go back to their 'all your base' c***, which people could actually ignore, rather than this "I'm an idiot and I'm going to write like one, because someone else does it and its so freakin' cool" jerks?

As for the credit guy, talk to your credit card company about killing the charge.

I always let my credit card company know (amex) and they just take care of it for me. Has never been a problem.

Quark-heads and starving artists who can't afford to update all of their applications!
