    I posted this thought in another thread, but given our long wait times, I thought we could all use a little comic relief...

    Just a guess but I wonder if Dell will be as patient if some of their customers out there with payment agreements suddenly have "backorders" on their payments.

    How do you suppose they would react to a customer if they were to hear, "Due to unforseen circumstances the money that I had planned to use for this payment is not currently available to me, thank you for your patience as I wait for a new shipment of money to come into my account. Please be assured that I will be personally looking into it and will talk with my supervisor and put a "rush" order in to make sure you get your money as soon as it becomes available." :p

    They'd just simply cancel your order. Don't expect them to be 'fair' about it :(
