I am not 100% sure about this, but I think that the 4M kits being
shipped are not the same 4M kits we ordered. These kits are made with
256K chips piggy backed to each other, not with the 1M kits. Therefore
Apple can send them to people who ordered these kits specifically, while
those of us who ordered the old ones can still wait.

I agree that this is infuriating, and I'm in the same boat. Just this
week our store got some of these new 4MB kits in, and I jumped
for joy until I found out that these were twice the price, and there
my manager won't let me take them. So I'm *still* waiting for the 
"right" kinds of SIMMs to come in.
