    Wow. I'm so anxious for my Dell that I simulated a flight from Penang to Nashville in Microsoft Flight Simulator

    All done in actual time. flight took like 15 hours im not really sure. I left my computer on for most of the time as it went from Malaysia to the US. Felt good when I landed in Nashville. Felt like like my M1530 was on board. I think I'm delirious from waiting so long for the laptop

    It was a cargo plane, Boeing 747. Call me weird but it made me feel a lil bit better.

    It was mad realistic.

    I'm just about to make the return flight and bring another plane full of computers back to Tennessee. No real time this time. haha

    LOL, yeah, waiting can be a bit antsy at times. Trust me though, it's worth it.

    Well worth it when you see the delivery guys pull up with a big box or two, believe me...mine's just arrived less than an hour ago...it was a 2-week wait even here in Malaysia, and the factory only a measly 300+ kilometers away. Going to explore it now...

    I remember the DHL guy pulling up the driveway... and then kind of lightly tossing the box at the doorstep. Hope you enjoy it. :D

    I'm just about as anxious as this guy still, and for some reason my studio 17 is still in Build stage since 8/9 :( Could one of you comfort my wary heart? :p
