How accurate is IBM with their ship dates?

Ordered the 2379-DJU while it was listed as 'Within 2 Weeks' availability.... Got a estimated ship date of 5/11 though...

Are these dates usually accurate?

Hmmmm, IBM.com shows the 2379-DJU in stock now.... Hopefully they will ship me one early

When I ordered my 802.11a/b/g card from them they said it would be ~4 months, I had it 10 days later.

Well I ordered my Thinkpad T41p on 4/21/04 and it just shipped today. Should be here Wednesday. Previously had an estimated ship by 5/7/04 date.
