    Isn't that a Samuel Beckett play -- Waiting for Penryn?

    Depending upon How It Is, we'll celebrate Happy Days when The Unnamable arrives. Probably on The Last Sunday In June. :p

    I phoned dell in Poland, which obtains m1330 and m1530 from ireland and they said that Penryn was supposed to be in the mid of February but due to delays in intel it will be here not earlier than mid March. So I guess in UK this deadline is almost the same, so f*** intel :]
    Either dell gives good deals for the outdated T7500 ;) or let's switch to HP or sony :p

    Thank you for telling me this 'integrator', I will be very interested to see what prices these 'upgrades' carry when they do finally launch on Dell UK.

    Especially when their competitors are already eating into their own margins in order to sell their Penryn PC's.
