- Hi,
- I'm hoping to hear from those you have received their Powerbooks 180
- through the normal channels? How long did you have to wait?
-
- I have one on order from the beginning of November. As of December 23rd, I
- have still not received it. I am thinking of cancelling my order next week and
- waiting until the 185C is announced and ordering that instead. Especially
- since the 185C is supposed to be out 2Q93 and I may not receive my 180 until
- sometime in 1Q93 anyway. Also, since the 185C is supposed to use an industry
- standard VGA-like 640x480 active-matrix color panel, there could be less of a
- delay in getting that.
-
- (Last year I ordered my 170, now promised to someone, about the end of October
- and didn't receive one until the beginning of January.)
-
- However, I'm not sure I can do without a mac for 6 months. Advice please? (The
- danger is I could break down and buy a color 486SX notebook during the long
- wait.)
-
- Thanks very much,
-
- Sandiway
