    I guess it's true when they say that patience is a virtue.. I am definitely lacking in that department. I'm used to waiting but this is ridiculous.. But then again, it's the story of life for the military. "Hurry up and wait."

    OMG. Checked my email today and it shipped yesterday, Didn't get the email until 20 minutes ago.

    They shipped it ground when it was supposed to be NBD (Wat?) but its on the truck for delivery.. the NJ warehouse is like 1 1/2 hours from Baltimore.

    Now I feel bad for complaining about Dell being clueless when their system was just stupidly slow in updating and letting me know it shipped.

    Now just to sit by the door waiting for the knock on my door :D :D

    Only problem is I left my Win7 key and disk for reformat at work because I didn't think I'd get it this weekend, ugh lol.

    Hang in there FWD :) Mines sitting about 30 mins from me in a FedEx Freight depot. I've already emailed if I can pick it up on the way to Denver International, but I'm sure they don't allow the public there. So i'll have to just be patient and see it on Friday afternoon.
