T61 shipping

[downloader666]

I ordered my t61 on 6/27 and got an expected shipping date of 8/17. Is this realistic or can I expect (hope) it to arrive sooner? I did customize it quite a bit (i.e camera, turbo memory, etc...) but I also went through the IBM Employee Payment Program so maybe that will speed things up.....? two months just seems ridiculous for a laptop. thanx

Note from Moderator: Congratulations, but use the shipping sticky for this type of discussion.
