We have shipped the replacement part or parts for your IMAC G5 ALS (20-INCH) that you have ordered, along with instructions for their installation.

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

Shipping date : 14-Aug-2006
Estimated due date : 28-Aug-2006

Who the what now? (Disclaimer: translated from English to French by those lousy Apple translators, then back from French to English by me.)

I hope it does mean “date when we expect you to have shipped back the replaced part, or we’ll bill you” (the context allows to think so, but isn’t quite clear). Or else.

 

I can’t seem to find out where the package is right now (yes, I did find the UPS link) but, considering the time they confirmed shipment, I’d wager that… uh… no, actually, I have no idea where it is, but it’s most probably somewhere August 15 doesn’t apply. So there is a non-totally-null chance of receiving it on the 16th.

(Of course, now that I’ve posted this, it has exactly a 0% chance of happening.)

(Well, now that I added that sentence, it’s back to 50%.)

(25% now.)

(37.5%.)

(Off the top of my head, that should give a 33% limit or something, right?)
