Actually, it was the supervisor (a fellow in Utah who would only give his name as "Dan, #21143") whom I'd asked for when the operator/agent said sorry 'bout that. She said she had a list of "more than 35" who had bought the 1250 model (@$1799) that they were going to call (now, two weeks later).

BTW, I got a call Jan. 4 to "verify my address because we're about to ship your computer."

What a confused operation!

On the other hand, maybe they have solved the excess inventory problem.

NW -
Finally figured out that he is talking about a notebook, but the story still makes no sense. There 9 presario notebooks between $1399 and $1899 and 7 of them are in stock around the corner, 2 of them at $1799.

This post doesn't ring true. I bet it is made up.
