I feel like we go through one thread a week.

GB, whats the latest on the WSJ reporter?

I say everyone post the exact same thing about what "production means"....we'll have like 100 responses and Chris will have to respond.

CacheSyntax,

I will have to check tomorrow with the Admin.

There are many great tales where the young prince has to pass 3 trials, or gates or events to earn the hand of the beautiful pricess. THREE! We are opening here thread #6. Clearly a doomsday for Dell.
But whatever they do this story will keep going on unless they come clean on all the unanswered questions. I doubt that just by shipping XPS-700 units this will be near over.

They need to come clean on the YESTERDAY'S TECHNOLOGY AT YESTERDAY'S PRICES
The DOMINO EFFECT
The motherboard and soundcard issue
And last but hopefully not forgotten: why Core 2 Duo upgrades are not offered in Canada...?

There is not only a backlog in shipping the computers - there is a huge backlog to deliver customers answers they deserve for their money. Dell is still going DOWNwards!

Great question.  I think there are ALOT of us here in that state of limbo.  I cannot believe I got excited when it went into production last Thursday.  I actually thought I would see some progress over the weekend.  I was wrong.  Come on Dell, just send me the parts and I will put it together in 10 minutes.  :)

Hey Chris, can you inquire on what it means when your system goes into Production but does not advance?  Thanks!
