    I was stoked today when I called the Dell lady and she told me my laptop shipped....only to realize she was saying it shipped in May of 2004. I was one number off on the damn order number when I was punching it in :mad: . Thought some of you might want to torment yourselves as well, so if you punch in order number 766-289-350, you can hear what it's like to be shipped.... :p

    WTF. Another mistyped order number, and another May 2004 delivery date. Within 2 days of the other order number in my post above. What are the chances? This one's 760-956-384...I'm going slightly mad....

    Same for me. I even tried it 3 or 4 times JUST to make sure that I was typing in the correct order number. This blows. EVEN THOUGH I just ordered yesterday, i'm tres impatient haha. It says its in-production on the dell site, but I want to know the specific status.
