No Go Lenovo



So remember I was shopping for a laptop?  On 04/12 I ordered a Thinkpad
T60p from Lenovo.  They said it would ship on 05/08, which really bummed
me out.  So I called yesterday to see if it shipped, and they said it
hadn't; that it would probably ship the next day.  So I check the order
online today, now the estimated ship date is 06/04!!!!

Two months to build and ship a laptop!  It's not like I ordered a Prius
or something.  I called them up, and they said they would have someone
call me back within 24 hours.  If they don't have some super good reason
and somehow make it up to me, I'm going to decide between ordering a
Thinkpad from somewhere else, or find another Linux-compatible laptop
with similar specs.

Yes, this is ever so slightly more about them pissing me off than
needing it sooner.  They lied, they pay.
