    Congrats...did you ask or were you offered? I didn't rant, but I was a pain with the laptop dell laptop that I helped to purchase. Got a great deal, but they continually pushed the ship date 3o days back twice for a stock 1525, nothing special, and at the end of the day my options were a 2% coupon or to cancel :/ And seeing I used a 25% coupon and got free next day shipping...the buyer ended up just going and buying it from a store.

    Explain DUM - did they delay you by 1 day - or 100 days?

    I ordered my wow1730 on the 10th - it shipped Today - no complaints so far.

    Dear God, that's really painful to read.
    Now English may not be your first language which does seem to be the case, or perhaps you missed English lessons at school?

    As for your first posting, for future reference, the word you were looking for is dumb, as in "some people are so dumb, they cannot write legibly"

    lol yes and that really doesnt sound like a conversation someone would have with a dell rep, seeing as ive talked to many i doubt he just immediately said k to your demands and that was that lol.

    I think it's kinda sad how people take advantage of dell over a small delay and demand huge compensation.

    To be honest with you this guy probably didn't even talk to a Dell rep - most likely one of his parents did. By the way he spells, he's 13-15 and I doubt they'll give you such a big compensation anyway.

    Then again, I'd be willing to pay $100 to not have to strain my eyes and brain trying to read what he's posting, thus listening to him should be far worse. :D
