<I Ordered My new P3 700 MHZ pc with the very sweet altec Lansing ADA880 speaker on November 29 and I got an estimate of December 14. I thought that was pretty resonable time to wait for them to build and test a computer. So I waited and a day before it was going to ship, I went to check me order status and it was changed to the 21 of December. Then 2 days later I got a call and they said the new ship date is January 5 of 2000. I mean COME on people You should not have to wait that long. I want my pc now. This is a $3000 computer that I ordered here, I should get some kinda special treatment for this kinda cabage i had to shell out. I think I should be compensated here with like a free printer or an MP3 playe. The whole reason I choose dell is there awsome reputation and support not to mention their awsome products (I think the Case is cool Maximum PC) For this DELL needs to go to HELL I want my computer now or I need to be compensated.> I have heard of other people who placed their CuMine orders in November and who are getting similar treatment. So this is not an isolated incident as far as I can tell. May be Dell will upgrade the poor souls to CuMine 800s ;-)

Here's another amusing message board post (with responses): Can anyone point me to a site that sells cheap RAMBUS memory? I went to Kingston's site and 64MB runs close to $500!!! Any help would be appreciated. Thanx :O) -------- Sorry to dissapoint, but at this time there is no such thing as cheap RAMBUS. If anyone else can find any, make sure and spread the news b/c its outragous priced right now. -------- try looking in the dumpster outside Micron Electronics ------ In your dreams would be a good place to start. Nobody makes cheap rambus yet. Sorry. I mean, is this the biggest debacle you've ever seen...or what! -Scot
