I have to agree too. I've been using Apple since the Apple ][ days as
well and the only Apple equipment I've ever had a waiting period for
was the very first Intel iMacs. One of our older iMacs had been stolen
and there were none available as a replacement (at least according to
the supplier we had to use), so we had to wait a little while for the
release of the of the new model.
