    Since people were interested to know the reason behind the delays of the Inspirons as well as the XPS M1330, Direct2Dell has a new post up.

    It also almost sounds like they're inviting you to call and complain if the delays have inconvenienced you.

    there is no real answer there. They didn't mention why the colors are in such a short supply that more than a month later the orders are still not completing. Why are they taking new orders? Aren't the new orders starving the old orders? If my color becomes available, my order may still not complete because the new order which just completed just sent the processors out of stock. And I go back to queue because the screen which had just appeared is now gone to another new order for which the processor is IN stock.
