    I got my order shipped email today, a good few days before expected. I just looked up the tracking number and saw something interesting. Under "Shipment Details..." it lists where it was shipped form in the "From:" area but the "To:" area is blank. Should my address be listed right there?

    Just curious if something is amiss or if I'm just being paranoid.

    I think everything's okay because if I click the little help link I get:
    Just figured I'd double check with someone here and vent my excitement. I can't wait. This laptop is leaps and bounds ahead of my desktop.

    Just thought I'd post that my machine arrived way earlier than estimated.

    Their whole system is odd. When I was configuring the computer, I got an estimated ship date of April 3. Then once I'd paid, that became April 7. I was pi$$ed! But then the box showed up on April 1 (yesterday)! It had been shipped from TN to NYC on March 31. So it was a pleasant surprise.

    If anyone from Dell is reading this, you might consider some kind of fix to this.

    This also means that in configuring a machine from Dell, you can ignore the warnings that a certain choice may make your order ship later. I had that on two different features, and apparently they didn't slow it down at all.
