Thanks guys! Whenever I close my eyes at night to sleep all I see is my laptop waiting for me.

Called AW today on my way to my interview at Sony (woohoo) and they said "Even though the web shows you're on phase 3 it looks like you're actually on phase 8." All my parts were in stock and i should expect the laptop next wed. or thurs.

Did you ask them why its taking so long? You might've chosen some parts that were out of stock. Or if you used a debit card there's usually a limit on how much they can take out of your account each day which can slow the process. Keep me posted on your progess!

Thanks for the warm welcome AlienHead. Just checked the web and Im phase 9 now. Found out coincidentally that I have both wed. and thurs. off next week so I can sit and hide in the bushes for my FedEx deliverer. Gonna have to borrow a digital camera for this experience....don't want to let you guys down...haha....gotta get the pictures.

Wow....all in a matter of hours I skipped to Phase 12. Im going to stay positive on this one and tell myself its because my lappy is so AWESOME that it just passed all 200 points of inspection without any problems.

Shipped today! I hope it comes sooner than the date it states cause I start my new job that day meaning I won't be home to take pics of the FedEx guy/girl!

San Jose, CA...you?

Yeah my order was shipped, however, It doesn't look like its been scanned after it departed the Orlando facility. Also I noticed that ony one package departed the facility and not the second, smaller package(probably the floppy drive). How about you????
