    [ :)][ :D][ :)][ :D][ :)][ :D]IT'S HERE!!![ :)][ :D][ :)][ :D][ :)][ :D]

    Well it came today, well ahead of schedule. It's pretty cool right out of the box. I watched a DVD from beginning to end with no problems, the adapter stayed warm but not hot. I have some pics but no place to host them. My lappie is not going online for awhile, and my desktop is an Imac. If anyone knows of a site that would host free like geocities but for mac let me know and I'll put up my pics. Thanks!

    Woah, cancel your order? After a week and a half? They're building a high-powered computer... it's impressive that they can get them out as fast as they do.

    Jus tbecause the order status has been the same for awhile doesnt mean they arent making progress with the shipping or not, sometimes it takes a day or so.

    mine went from processing of payment completed, stayed there for a day and a half then 3 days later it was on the shipped icon. but i did get mine within 5 business days.. which is good.. but i still think you should wait, unless you a need a laptop so badly that you cant wait around for it. But they you will end up having to wait ahwile to get your money back.

    .:Inspiron 9100:.
    -:2.8 P4:-
    -:1GB 400 MHz RAM:-
    -:60GIG 7200 RPM HDD:-
    -:128MB ATI Radeon 9700:-

    I agree, cancelling my order is going a bit overboard. Especially since it shipped today.[ :D][ :D]

    I really don't think I will buy another Dell though. Unless they really come up with something that blows the competition away.
    I just can't handle the wait.
