Apple: 'Incredible demand' delays dual-2.5GHz G5s

MacNN: "Apple last week began notifying customers of further shipment delays for its dual-2.5GHz Power Mac G5. In a note sent late last week to customers, Apple's online store said that demand for the high-end G5 systems had caused a backlog of orders, preventing the company from fulfilling some of them until the end of the month. One MacNN reader notes that his dual-2.5GHz Power Mac G5 was originally expected to ship on July 30th, but was subsequently delayed until August 20th and then delayed (again) for a second time. 'The demand for this item has been incredible. We are shipping them as quickly as possible, but cannot meet the ship date we previously estimated for you. We now expect to ship your Power Mac on or before August 30th.' Separately, Apple has also delayed shipments of Power Mac G5s built with the high-end NVidia GeForce 6800 Ultra DDL graphics card ... customers who chose to wait will recieve their custom-built Power Macs with the Nvidia card in mid-September."

Look, Apple makes good stuff, so I don't expect (or want) it's loyal fans to walk away from the platform, but how many times do you have to get bitten before you at least stop sticking up for those guys? Seriously.
