What do I do?

Change your name, and apply for entry into the Federal Witness Protection Program.

I could also stop paying on my cc's but then CitiBank and Chase would go out of business!

The entire US economy would go into a downward spiral!

Yes, but new orders are showing Nov 10th ship date.

Pretty much kills it for those who are trying to do a quick turn around for profit.

Same here. If it wasn't for that and the knowledge that people have to wait til November now, I would be very cranky about waking up at 4am for this (especially since I went to bed at midnight and woke up like 3 times, heh).

Ah, well, sometimes you have to pay for things with more than just money. ;)

Still alive as of 15 minutes ago.

I just ordered the Inspiron 700M ($1449) with the following upgrades: Windows XP Professional, CDRW/DVD Combo Drive, 512 MB RAM ($FREE PROMO), Double Capacity 65WHr battery, Dell Media Remote Control, Nylon Carrying Case, and Adobe Acrobat Elements.

Total with coupon=$985 + $49 shipping & tax. (There's also a $49 rebate coming my way to cover shipping.)

Estimated shipping date November 10. Ouch. (It changed from Oct 26 while I was configuring it. This must be one hell of a popular deal.)

UPDATE: Deal alive! As of 12:41 central, I can still add the coupon to my cart. (Make sure you're shopping in the "Home and Home Office" section.)

It should be good until the end of the day


Is there a way to apply any other coupons or discounts? I know this deal is'nt supposed to be stackable but it can't hurt to try. :D

Update: As of 12:52 central, coupon can be added.

9100 no longer on Home and Home Office site.

Delayed shipping on 700M: Estimated ship date 11/10.

All others still shipping 10/26 or sooner.

My 700M still show the 10/26 date. But the 1150 I ordered with the 1905FP is showing the 11/10 date, mainly because of the 1905FP being delayed.

But you've already place your order, right? I watched the date change on the 700M at about 12:00 PM central while I was configuring it just prior to checking out. I thought it was something I had added that changed the date, but that wasn't the case when I went back to the default configuration.

My order went in at 8:30 am Pacific time, and I still have the 11/10 ship date. But I added a bunch of stuff so that might be it--
