I went home for lunch and there were three boxes from Dell! What a pleasant surprise. I bought the computer on Monday and they said the tentative ship date was next Monday, February 4th. I got an e-mail yesterday saying it had shipped and would be delivered today. I wasn't going to believe it until it happened. Well, it happened. I did a cursory check and everything is there that is supposed to be there including speakers, two optical drives, a keyboard, a flat screen monitor with USB ports, a 19 in 1 media card reader and all necessary cables and CD program discs. Since I'm seeing George tonight (not that George, the one who hangs out in the park and paints) I won't set it up until tomorrow. O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!
