"It should be a (centrinO) killer of a product." It should make things interesting. Hammers have managed to get quite a bit of mindshare in all markets. As I mentioned in the Other Place, in a fit of end of semester psychosis, I ordered a R3000z from HPaq. It met my limit(albeit barely) of under $1000 with a decent set of features. That was nearly 3 weeks ago, it just got picked up by FedEx in Shanghai. Now some people who placed orders earlier reported getting theirs in a couple of weeks, including shipping time. So either they save up orders and batch them, or they experienced a spike in orders and got clogged. Ok, the promised ship date was 4 weeks after the order was placed, but that is nuts. I mean, come on. How long does it take to put a hard drive and some memory inside of a notebook? If it takes 15 minutes, including boxing the thing, I would be surprised...
