    I hate waiting for something when I paid over $60.00 to ship it and it cost over $1,000.00.

    Order date 9/15
    ESD 10/08
    EDD 10/09

    Inspiron 1521, AMD Athlon 64 X2 TK-53 (1.7GHz/512KB)
    2GB of RAM
    Midnight Blue Color with Microsatin Finish

    Even though its upsetting I cant wait till I get it.

    Wait, you're complaining about waiting when you ordered on 9/15... Now sure, your ESD is 10/08, but it hasn't happened yet, so you may end up getting you computer sooner than that..

    63 Days and no more Counting! :D

    Original Order 07/30

    Orig ESD: 8/16
    2nd ESD: 8/23
    3rd ESD: 8/30
    4th ESD: 9/05
    5th ESD: 9/16
    6th ESD: 9/21
    7th ESD: 9/26
    Cancelled: 9/25
    New ESD: 10/17

    Shipped: 09/29
    ARRIVED: 10/01/07

    “They” canceled my Order!? Said it was a configuration conflict (coulda-said-that-2-months-ago) however … after three hours on the phone with every Dell Customer Service rep, they finally got it reordered, exactly the same as the first one.

    They threw in $150 credit after shipping and an extra year warranty as compensation. I’ll take it!
