    We do not have a firm ETA yet, but with 2nd Day Air it should not be a problem getting it to you by August 23rd.

    If Sager's ETA is accurate August 23rd should be just enough. Just pray it doesn't get pushed back any further :(

    At Sagernotebook.com:
    Pre-Order Now! / ETA: 08-08-2008

    I dont know how accurate that is, but if you go by that, than figure it will take about 2 weeks before it's delivered to your doorstep.

    I'm thinking I'll get it about the 22nd of August, or maybe before.
