G5 Recall?

ohhhhh no. More cannon fodder for Mac bashers.

Oh well, it's only a latch.

Ok, so the way this reads makes it sound like it only affects the 1.6ghz machines. Don't all of the machines have the same latch mechanism??

Well I don't see any actual reports that say the G5 is being recalled, if it were true, wouldn't the owners all have gotten a notice about it?

Surely if it were true Apple would have had to make a press release or something, no?
And I would think that also would delay other PowerMac orders a little, but it is the 25th and my dual 2ghz system still says on or before 8/29

i would think so too... but who knows? i would think apple will say something in the very near future if it's true... mayb sometime this week?

Well, even if its not a recall, if they have to fix all the cases that are sitting around waiting to have their innards put together, it will only create more of a delay in getting the machines to the public.

Sorry to hear this, but its one of a few reasons that helped make a decision not to buy the Rev A. G5....., I got burned on the Rev A. G4 and didn't want to have to go through the same anxiety as before.

I hope its an easy fix.

I was nervous about ordering a G5 also, but it's also cool to be part of something like this...a landmark in computing and whatnot :) Plus being able to say (for a while) that I've got the "Fastest desktop computer in the world!" ;)

It's probably more economical waiting, too, since Panther will be pre-installed by the time rev. B comes out.

Wow... that would suck big time for apple...

Maybe they only have to recall those, and depending on when each computer was made, that could be the 1.6s...
