greg - good point on testing or the lack thereof - DELL still has very low out-of-box failure numbers so whatever they are doing is working, but its hard to imagine much more than a power-up test in a build cycle with order to delivery in hours...

Greg, Is DELL just putting them together, then boxing them up now, with little to no testing? No way, when we went to Austin we watched the assembly line and saw how efficiently they put an order together and finally test. Nothing went out without testing first. I ordered a DELL for my daughter a year ago and it was shipped out the next day. My son in law also ordered a notebook and realized he had forgotten something. He called up the same day and it was too late. He had to refuse delivery on the first one and they sent the new one right out. Dorine
