    So what you guys do to help time pass while waiting for your new Dell laptop?

    I've found that watching unboxing videos on youtube can help, as well as looking up other people's photos of their laptops on flickr. I know, pathetic, right? Lol...

    Nah, I did the same. I always search Flickr for pics of the product I want to see in a home/working environment. I've been searching for a keyboard and mice for the past two weeks. Decided to get the VX Revolution and a Kensington Slim Type keyboard :)

    Lol, my 24" Ultrasharp monitor has been alone for weeks, with occasional XBOX 360 play.

    Now I need some 2/2.1 speakers :O

    I watch videos of people unpacking their laptops too! My Studio 15 is on a truck somewhere in Toronto on its way to my house. I can't believe how long it is taking. :eek:

    Heehee...when I was waiting for my 1530..I was looking at YouTube vids for all the info I could find about it, watching peep's unpacking their lappys, and also checking out accessories that I could/would want! ;) :)

    Oh, I was also calling the Automated Number and checking online to see the status of my 1530~! :p :rolleyes: :D (every-so-often = meaning several times a day) lulz.

    I got on the Dell hotline at least once an hour. When DHL got it, I sat rooted to my computer constantly hitting refresh on their tracking site.
