Sigh... computer upgrade delayed

[Brad Johnson]

I have this hoss of a new machine sitting right behind me, geared up and ready to go except for the OS.  I'm waiting on the free Win7 upgrade to arrive from Dell.  I checked the update status yesterday afternoon and was thrilled to see the status window had changed from Processing to Ordered.  Yay!    Unfortunately the anticipated ship date is December 1. No yay.   

Dang.  Another three weeks limping along (two weeks, actually, as I'll be out of the office Thanksgiving week).  I know they probably have a jillion upgrade orders to process but I want mine NOW dammit! *pout*

Oh well, I supposed it won't hurt me to be patient.  Helps build character, or so I'm told.

Any plans for the old hardware?  I'm collecting old computer detritus, if that wasn't already obvious.

Already spoken for.

My comp died back in Aug.  I bought a new HP Pavilion Slimline with the Win 7 upgrade when released.  So, I have been limping along for the last 2 months, not wanting to put much effort into it, just to have it wiped out with the upgrade.  I received the disks Tuesday, did the upgrade last night, easy as pie.  Heck, I didn't lose any information and the only incompatible programs were some dumb Wild Tangent games that HP had put on it.

Well whaddaya know... I just got a notice that it shipped yesterday!

Yay!

Coincidentally I just ordered myself a new PC (in pieces) from newegg to build myself a new one.

I just got rid of my AMD Athlon XP 3200 (ran at 2200) with 1.5 gigs of RAM and a Radeon X1950 Pro in favor of an Intel i7, 4 gigs of RAM, and two GeForce 8800 GTSs.

It's good when family upgrades computers.
