    Today so far has been at least 5. Funny, I've called probably 20 times in the past few days, and every damn time I hear "Build Stage"

    :(

    I only call once a day. Right when I get to work. That's what happens when you've waited as long as me. :)

    I would call at least 5 times a day from 6/29 to 7/25. After that, I just kinda lost hope of it coming earlier than my ESD. Since then, i check just once or twice a day. But since I went into boxing yesterday, I have checked about 10 times since then.

    if (isn't it sad that I have to say if...) I go into boxing... i'd barely be able to restrain myself... I would probably call every hour on the hour during MALAYSIAN business hours :)

    Nah, it's actually quite annoying... It's not like that is new technology, that has been around for decades... Just never implemented... To be quite honest, I'd rather dial in the numbers than talk to a robot since half the time they don't understand what I'm saying and it's just really really annoying... Especially when they replace a real live person with the automated robot for tech support (my cable company did this!!!!)... You need to go through the robot before you can talk to a real person, heh... And there is no way to bypass it..

    As for the original question in this thread, I was calling about 10 or so times a day when I was in the build stage. Once I got into boxing I was checking probably 5 times per day.... Yeah, I really was anxious to get this new laptop... And it arrived today, and I am one happy guy!!!! Just in time for college which starts September 4th, which was my original ESD.

    At least 5 times a day, about every two hours or so that I am awake.

    Um...my job involves answering phones all day long, so I'm not keen to call very often. I call maybe once a day, usually less. I think I've called about 6 or 7 times since I ordered. To be fair, I only knew about a week after my order about the hotline.

    I feel like I'd need some incentive to call more often- more than that woman's voice anyway. Like a Miss Cleo style prediction of great happiness in my future, or cake.
