    I have been denied membership in this club, but I wish all of you the best of luck! Hopefully this will be the last club necessary.

    Well, I was in the 8/28 shipping club, but as of this morning I was put in the 9/5 shipping club. Well, I just checked my order status and now I seem to be in the 9/10 shipping club. I can't believe this. I really am considering cancelling. Yesterday two CSRs said that it would likely ship today. (I didn't really believe them, but that's what they said). Today my husband talked to them and they said they would get it out as soon as possible (yeah right), but here they are again delaying it. I am really frustrated with Dell. I mean come on, stop taking new orders and fill the ones you already have.

    AAAAHHHHHH!

    I got a second email this evening telling me that my system was delayed to 09/05, so I called Dell again to make sure that they don't cancel my order. The CSR told me that they accidentally sent everyone a date of 09/05 and my actual date is now 09/10. :(

    Yeah...seriously. I cant imagine this is going to keep up all year. At some point, Dell is gonna have to restrict sales of certain colors or something. Or else this will continue on untill the next new Inspiron.
