Wonderful!!!

The option to export to Excel allows me to pivot and see the various scenarios on delays

Thanks for your hard work.

I dont know if you saw my comment in another thread, but well done!

You should, if you have the time, enter the data from the 130+ systems listed in the first post of the "Who has waited the longest" thread.

Im receiving my laptop on Wednesday, and after that Im not going to be spending as much time maintaining that huge list.

It only includes orders from before July 15th, but if you havent added them, you should!

Updated the status. Mine moved into testing today

Another suggestion...

How about a comparison feature that allows you to look at your system side by side with others? I really want to know why mine costs so much! lol...

Again, good job sir...

Thanks for all the words of encouragement. Although I would never ask for it, i noticed a "add to reputation" button ...

mtylerjr: I dont have time to add all those people and update the site as well. The general idea is that people should add their own systems. Perhaps, if you would be so kind, you could advertise it on your thread to those people, or perhaps even in PM, so they (if they haven't already) can add their own systems to the tracker.

nubiennze: Comparing systems litterally side by side is a nice idea but not really practical. I will however try and think of something that I can work into the current layout and system that will highlight pricing more clearly. Perhaps a specialised report.

I would very much appreciate it if we could keep this thread active so it stays near the top of the forum for new users to find it and use it. Unless anyone knows how to request a sticky status for this therad?

Finally I have been working on a "bug tracker" system where users can add "issues" and a known solution (such as CPU whine) to a definitive list. However, I feel as though this should be moderated and maintained by one person. Is there anyone who is active on these types of threads (problem, issues, bugs) that is able to add to the "bug tracker" part of the website...?

Thanks again, any any suggestions are warmly recieved.

I've noticed that no one that posted their laptop with a T7100 Core 2 Duo has received their laptop. Could it be causing delays?

I was reading on the Dell2Dell blog that they're having a lot of problems with the paint on the Red and White M1330's... seems that they're not quite up to the standards the Dell requires, but I think they said the black is okay. That's why the white has been discontinued...

I added my computer too, even though I just ordered on the 9th... I'm hoping my delay won't be quite as severe as some experienced by users on this forum.

im adding two new features properly now - the bug tracker and review tracker. More details to follow.
