    I ordered my HP zx5000 on 08/10 (from Orlando, FL) and my shipping day was for 08/19 but I received my notebook today on 08/17/04 (2-days early).
    I am dealing with Hurricane Charley problems, as soon as I have a time I'll open the box and let you know about my first impression.
    (Currently I'm using 4-years old Dell PII, 96Ram Notebook)
