I fully understand the delay in shipping due to Apple shipping to the reseller, and I'm quite cool with that. My reason for ordering from a catalog reseller vs Apple was the free 512MB of RAM thrown in. I'm still curious as to how they can have enough 12" units built, boxed, and ready to go in a month, but they can't seem to do the same with the 17" unit which was announced at the same time. I'm sure there was a good reason, but it would be a nice show of faith for Apple to be a little more forthcoming about the reason for the delay. Then again, that's not Apple's SOP.
