It's even worse here.  I had to give them my cashier's check BEFORE
they would even process the dumb order.  And then 3 1/2 weeks after I
ordered the machine, Apple still hadn't felt like processing the
order.  When they finally shipped the machine, it went UPS ground.
Talk about cheap -- when I pay $3k for a machine it ships UPS ground,
but when I pay $12 for a disk library it ships Airborne Express next
day air.

My roommate ordered an IBM PS/2 30 on a Saturday and by the next
Friday had the machine in his room.
