I reported yesterday in a Cassandra note that while orders for the Mac Pro were open 19 December, United States customers were to get theirs on 30 December. I added, "fingers crossed" which appears to have been prescient.

The dates for shipping have suddenly changed to February for the US store. The Apple Online store for Thailand showed January shipping but now it too shows February. Time Marches on?
