I thought it would be interesting to see how many of us are processing and waiting to be STV since there isn't much discussion going on today.

As the sig shows, I'm waiting.
I really want this to go STV. I mean, I realize Gratis doesn't have to be like other sites because they've always proved to be legit... but them not giving me my stuff has really hurt my credibility with all the people I told that I'd be getting this. I told them it'd take a while... but I think they are just not going to believe me if it gets to be 3 months before I see the product.

Doesn't matter to me. They can still pay for them and put them STV. I'd be willing to wait for them to be in stock at the vendor.

It's a 3 week wait..
AFTER your STV.
Until your STV, your not in Apple's que.
So hopefully Gratis will send in some orders soon.

Yeah, I really want to be in the apple queue and not the gratis queue.
Oh well.... free is still free a few months in the future.. it's just frustraiting because everybody is like 'did you get that mac' and I'm like 'no, they are all backordered' and they are like 'yeah right, you got scammed'.

Maybe in the meantime Apple upgrades what come standard (there's rumors they are going to do that), then we get a better computer....

I'm guessing it won't be sent to vendor until they get a large enough batch to get perhaps a bulk discount.

http//www.clubmac.com only lists 3-5 days backorder for the Mac Mini!
Gratis needs to get some orders STV STAT!

I just checked the Apple website and it now says 2-3 weeks instead of 3-4.

the problem isn't Gratis, it's apple. Every time apple releases a new product they have little to no stock. The photo iPods took forever to deliever, the G5 iMac took 2 months to get here (I ordered mine direct from apple), the shuffle is taking forever, and one can only assume that hte mini mac will be the same. I doubt we'll see them till mid-march.

Actually right now while we are stuck at processing it is Gratis. If they would send their order to their vendor then we would finally be on the Apple waiting list and then it would be Apple we would be waiting on.

Correct.
Until it goes STV, were not in Apple's waiting list.
The forumula is
[code1db9ca20d1a]
Gratis Processing List Time + Apple Order time = Total wait time
[/code1db9ca20d1a]
or
[code1db9ca20d1a]
time() {
return order.waittime(processing) + order.waittime(stv);
}
[/code1db9ca20d1a]

are processing and stv instance variables or constants in your code?
more like,
[code1837c544aac]
// the wait time of this the STV time of the order plus the processing time
public TimeSpan WaitTime
{
get { return Order.getWaitTime( WaitTime.PROCESSING ) + Order.getWaitTime( WaitTime.STV ); }
}
[/code1837c544aac]
