My first experience with Dell sure is off on the wrong foot. Ordered a new laptop:

Order Date: 09/15/99

After taking my credit card info, they tell me

Production Date:09/15/99
Estimated Ship By Date: 10/21/99


Sigh. Oh well, I guess I can wait five effing weeks. Just for Scrapps.

October 21 arrives, I check my order status as I have each and every day since September 15th, and I'm greeted with

Updated Estimated Ship By Date: 11/5/99

AAAARRRRGGGGGHHHHHHH!
