I've been following the whole LT150 saga from a distance. I wanted one but couldn't buy one. I was even monitoring the board just a couple of hours after the initial poster told us all about the great Dell deal. But I couldn't get one. Why not? My wife and I are in the midst of buying a new house and I didn't want to jeaopardize anything by racking up new charges on our credit card. But that's not the purpose of my post...
There's been reports of one or two people getting their projectors delivered so far but it seems like more and more people are/were convinced that it wasn't going to happen and have gotten awfully mad at Dell over the whole thing. Maybe the next couple of days will prove you right and Dell will inform you all that the whole thing was a big mistake and cancel your orders. But it seems to me that people are getting awfully mad at Dell (and very vocal about it) while, from where I'm sitting, it still looks to me like you'll probably all be getting them.
Imagine, Dell offers an incredible deal, and people go from praising them to cursing them all within a couple of days. OK, so you may have ordered it overnight and maybe they didn't deliver on that, I can understand a bit of frustration (and a lot of concern) over that. But if this deal of the century (or maybe just the month) goes through, I propose that my thread be used as an official "Apology to Dell" thread for all you naysayers. Of course, if they do cancel all your orders, then you can use this thread to publicly curse my name. http://www.avsforum.com/ubb/redface.gif

PS - If anyone has any extras, please hold onto one for me till 8/31 (we're supposed to close on the house on 8/30). http://www.avsforum.com/ubb/smile.gif
