Apple's inventory management sucks

Not content with messing up with their inventory on Power Mac G5's, eMac's, iPod mini's and iMac's, my inbox had a message from the Apple store today regarding the Airport Express:

Dear Apple Store Customer,
Thank you for ordering the new Airport Express!

We are very excited about the response to this great new product! Unfortunately we cannot meet the previously estimated ship date for this product and we now expect to ship your order by July 30th, 2004.

...and so it goes on.

Needless to say, one is not amused. (Although on the plus side, at least I'll be paid again by then.)

Pairing up a SyncMaster with the Mac mini: I'd probably have managed to hold off the temptations of the newly announced Mac mini if only for the fact that I appear to already own the perfect monitor for the teensy, tiny little thing.
Upgrading the iPod's headphones: With the attraction of the iPod's shiny white headphones to thieves I've been using Sony's MDR-EX71SLB alternatives instead and can't rate them highly enough.

Movable Type template for iCal: For reasons I'm not entirely sure of, I've put together a feed of this site in iCalendar format (as used most notably by Apple's iCal).
Blatant FCC Violation Version: Despite being essentially banned in the UK, my very own iTrip landed on my doormat this morning. First impressions are great, with the look and feel being very much like it came from Apple's own R&D department.
