    Its quite a frightening experience for me to buy something online, but they made it painless.
    On a more optimistic note, I believe the laptop will be released tomorrow and hopefully they will have recognized the wire transfer by then but Im optimistic!

    It doesn't look like it's available today as expected. Any updates when it will go for sale?

    And again, we play the waiting game without a specific date that we could fall on...

    I now have been waiting for two months and counting... Time to see if there is anything else out there... (hopefully this thing will be released within the week)
