Well as many people know I was trying to decide on a T42 laptop to buy Well, I placed my order last friday (the 16th) and the laptop shipped today! (and seem to have gotten a free upgrade to 2 day delivery!)

are other people having the same experience or am I just lucky?

when i checked my order i saw i was upgraded to 2-day shipping, but once i checked my order i noticed that i had 13 packages of different weights being shipped to South Carolina from KOWLOON BAY, HK CN(i'm in virginia), I only ordered one t42. Has anybody heard of anything like this?

Of course you're all wrong - to make things easier for FedEx (UPS?) to get the 'bits' thru the letter box, your laptop has been sliced up into 12 pieces + the instruction book and glue to put it all back together again - have fun.

ian has been drinking cheap french wine..
what an old italian friend used to refer to as "horse piss"..
the same stuff served at italian family style dinners..
(i used to eat italian family style in san francisco for $1.25 in the 1960's)

and i can tell you that this stuff DOES rot your brain..

Hah! You're wrong about that - it was a VERY decent Buzet - grown not far from here - the 1996 I'm drinking at the moment is really exceptional. I'd send you a bottle if I thought it would get through A: Unbroken, B: Unopened
