Our BTO 20" iMac G5 has Arrived, Tracked with BoxHunter.

Dana Baggett, our New England Editor, ordered a 20" Mac G5 early on the day they were announced at Apple Expo in Paris. When the order was processed, he received a shipping date of on or before September 29th. It shipped on the 24th and it arrived on the 29th by FedEx from China, despite Dana having chosen the free ground service and saving $30.

As an aside, Dana tracked it with the preview edition of MacResQ's BoxHunter. He says,

BoxHunter performed well in tracking the iMac G5. It consistently gave me more up-to-date info on the whereabouts of the package than did the FedEx web site. For example, it reported the package landing in East Boston, MA. in the early AM after leaving Indianapolis last night. That's not the usual routing but we had fog on the Maine coast here last night so maybe the FedEx plane was diverted to Logan. Then it reported a departure to Portland. None of that detail ever showed on the FedEx web site.

Look for a Macs Only! Hands-On Report on the iMac G5 real soon.
