T-Minus 1

    My stupid Troubled Loner site was down again last night. I complained to my host but was basically told ‘it’s just one of those things’. Since my Apple e-mail is forwarded through that site, I grew paranoid that any e-mails about my G5 might be getting bounced. In a panic, I tried to change my Apple account’s e-mail address…but I couldn’t figure out how. I can change my ID name and password and billing information, but I couldn’t find a way to change my e-mail address. I changed my subscriptions for Apple news and iTMS news so maybe that’s good enough.
    Meanwhile, there’s still no word. Still no change on my Order Status page. Still no change on my credit card’s account activity page.
    Looks like today is nothing more than the day to get through to get to tomorrow.   [3:15 PM]
    Update: Fuck.
    I posted the above entry too soon. At around twenty after three, the guys on the Mac Rumors thread were starting to see their order status change. Mine stayed, but when I checked again at three:thirty it had changed too.    Looks like I’m stuck working on my PowerBook for another month. Looks like I might as well stop this countdown too.
    Damn it.
    (I also figured out how to change my Apple default e-mail address. At the “My Info” page of the Support section. Not like it matters anymore though.)   [3:36 PM]
    Update: Okay. Get this. Now people on the Mac Rumors site are saying their shipping date has reverted back to “07/30/04”. So I check my Order Status page and my shipping date has reverted back to “07/30/04” too! WTF??!! Even more puzzling, or troubling, the date bounced between “08/20/04” and “07/30/04” as I refreshed the page!
    Seriously, WTF???!!!
