ShippedAfter deftly clearing off just enough room on the old carte de plastique, I placed an order for the Mac system that I’ll be using at my new gig. And yes, if you really must know, it’s a decked out quicksilver G4 tower with dual 60 GB drives and a Cinema Display. Poor me. At least that’s what I’m assuming will arrive at the office within the next week or so. On Apple’s order status page, I noticed that the graphics pertaining to both the “Being Assembled” and the “Being Prepped For Shipment” stages still feature an old school PowerMac G3 tower — not the aforementioned streamlined beauty. For a company that is as consumed with the design and presentation of their products as Apple is, you’d think they might have noticed of this bit of visual incongruity by now.
