So remember I was shopping for a laptop? On 04/12 I ordered a Thinkpad T60p from Lenovo. They said it would ship on 05/08, which really bummed me out. So I called yesterday to see if it shipped, and they said it hadn't; that it would probably ship the next day. So I check the order online today, now the estimated ship date is 06/04!!!! Two months to build and ship a laptop! It's not like I ordered a Prius or something. I called them up, and they said they would have someone call me back within 24 hours. If they don't have some super good reason and somehow make it up to me, I'm going to decide between ordering a Thinkpad from somewhere else, or find another Linux-compatible laptop with similar specs. Yes, this is ever so slightly more about them pissing me off than needing it sooner. They lied, they pay. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
