Bill

Hey Daniel, I ordered the same machine from Bill, I can't believe you received yours already.
Can you post some pictures?
How's the feel of the keyboard, how heavy does it feel?

Thanks, Irving

the top machines are supposed to ship on or before the 10th..

FWIW, the big BUY of T42's ate up a HUGE chunk of buying power at ibm..
i won't do THAT again, soon..
no good deed goes unpunished..

>FWIW, the big BUY of T42's ate up a HUGE chunk of buying power at ibm..

They're unhappy with your selling a bunch of them at a time? Sometimes IBM can be the strangest company.

its not ibm, well it WAS ibm..
no, they are NOT unhappy selling 20 odd T42's..
ibm is screwed up lately with the order processing..

I am overwhelmed with paperwork keeping track of who paid what (small deposits) and getting everything straight..

a $100k credit line does not go far when ONE order (that has little profit) bites nearly half of it.. :cry:
and then bites MORE..!

what ibm did was not remove the old order when i placed the new order and thus ate twice (more) of my piddling credit line so it was standing at $150k..

no good deed goes unpunished..!
