    If August 28th rolls around and a new wave of delay calls/emails go out further pushing back everyone's anticipated laptop shipment, what will everyone do? Wait, cancel, demand more in refunds/compensation? I just want to see what other people have been thinking.

    It depends on how long they delay it for. If it's only another week, I may have patience left to wait it out. However, I may finally break down and call Dell to figure out what's going on with my computer.

    You should call for compensation anyway. Even without a delay. And then when the delay rolls around, you should ask for even more compensation.

    I got a $50 on my yellow, but I canceled it with the first delay and got a vostro instead.

    Mine is only schedule to ship 8/31/07 and I know I haven't waited that long yet... I'm prepared to stick it out because I got a good deal on my system...

    What would I do? That is a good question. I think if it was a week or so then I would hold out because it is such a good deal but I think I would ask for money towards a monitor because my old Dell Flat screen has a Big Black circle on it.

    I am hoping it will not come to that though.

    Why the hell are the other notebook manufacturers too stupid to create an equal product? Even the SZ6 lacks HDMI...

    If you guys read this, hire me, you bunch of pillocks.
