It looks like Apple will be shipping the first wave of consumer 2.5 Ghz G5's this coming Friday. While some corporate accounts already received their orders many consumers have been waiting for quite some time now for the machines to ship. I will be ordering one once I hear the reviews of the machines as it's a new configuration and aparently dependent on 10.3.5, an OS update. I'll keep this site posted on my thoughts on the new machine.
