Two quick points

One. At the moment - we're in exactly the same situation as the e740 owners with one difference: they KNOW they aren't getting an upgrade, we still have hope. Worse, the A/P people ARE (or maybe were.. it's hard to say) in the exact same position since they were told they would never get the upgrade.

Tangibly though, these two situations are essentially identical until Dell ships something. Well, almost - our situation will be worse if Dell decides not to ship at all because we had hope it would ship. The e740 owners have already passed through that phase into the 'let's bomb them' phase. :)

Two. Dell is not the cheapest upgrade. Most companies are charging around US$30 for it or less. I'm sure there are a few charging more, but Dell's price isn't neither a bargain nor a ripoff. And as I noted elsewhere, most of us have no problems paying the $30 if Dell would just ship the dang product already.
