Hi Mohan, Recently we were discussing how fast Dell gets a box to the customer. Well, I just bought a P2-450 with all the bells and whistles (TNT, DVD, etc. but without the monitor) and here's part of the confirmation email that just arrived. I don't have the machine yet but expect to have it Monday. I'm impressed. vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv kenneth beal Greetings from Dell Computer Corporation's OrderWatch service! [...] Your order has shipped. Order Number: XXXXXXXX Placed On: 10/01/98 Shipped On: 10/02/98 Your order was shipped via Airborne Express. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ It was late Wednesday night when I ordered it (actually Thursday morning, around 3 am) and they built and shipped it within about 40 hours! But I'm still waiting for the day when I think about needing a new computer and I find that one's been sitting on my doorstep since yesterday. ;-) Cheers, KenB PS For those who care about HTML codes, I figured out the "Use Fixed Font" codes -- it's "< pre >" to begin, and "< /pre >" to end (without the quotes or the spaces). This way you can insert a table into your post and not have to put the whole post into fixed mode.
