*does a little happy dance* it shipped out today at about 2:15 pm. theoretically, it could be here as early as monday, but probably not until tuesday. thank god for 2nd day delivery. too bad they can't be more specific about it's arrival when it's mid-day on a friday. c'est la vie. *pining for it*
Addendum: As of sometime between 2:45 and 3:30, my computer began it's route to the local carrier office of whatever shipping service (prolly UPS) that dell uses. *sits refreshing the shipping status screen every 10 minutes or so...ok, 2 minutes, so sue me...*
2nd Addendum: Aria was the first big dork to point out the secret message hidden in my laptop. You big dork. :)
