    For those of you ordering an Inspiron, do not select "Recycle Kit - Plant a Tree" option. Dell currently has a 6 month backlog on acorns, and this will delay your order.

    Actually, DELL has just been cutting corners on parts so as to plant cheaper acorns and the build quality of the new Oak saplings is debatable.

    Of course, the DELL reps in India misunderstood what the customers wanted completely, and they started planting old ACORN computers instead.

    :(

    It was a joke. Im not against recycling. I recycle. Im just making fun of Dell and their delays for every possible part.

    And FYI, I'm Mormon. Wanking over porn would keep me out of the temple.

    mtylerjr and Zee19 certainly are on different ends of the sense-of-humor spectrum. Oh well, the world needs all types!

    (I'm just kidding. There is absolutely, positively no need for people like Zee19.) :eek2: Rep to mtylerjr.

    I guess I'll cancel my recycle kit then and tell Dell to 'Recycle THIS'!! lol, j/k

    LOL @ almost everyone in this thread (in a GOOD way!), except for Mr. Porny-pooper! Though on his side of things (I really can't say 'in his defense', not going that far), it can be tough to tell tone when ppl aren't using emoticons. But I do not fault OP at all.

    My acorn has a matte finish, if I ask for it to be polished, will this reduce the wait?
