[dcranford]

I have a KXU on order from Bill, last I heard ship date was June 11th.
Although Bill hasnt been around here for the last few days.

Hopefully he has some good news when he gets back about the ship date.

Patience is a virtue when your dealing with the top of the line machines.

I have a KTU on order from Bill. Here's his estimate as to when they might arrive (Bill, apologies for posting an excerpt from a private e-mail but I really believe there's nothing confidential in it):

As far as I can tell, no 755 Intel Pentium 2.0Ghz Thinkpad have shipped anywhere yet. If you go back and read the original IBM announcement, it stated planned availability date for 755 models was July 2004. While it isn't entirely impossible for these to ship sooner, most indications are that these two models are probably at least two weeks away, no matter where you order. In fact, you are probably more likely to get it sooner, rather than later from Bill then any other source.

Thanks for the info. Unfortunately it does not help the patience factor much. They say patience is a Virtue,but my wife says I don't have any virtues
