Hi,
I ordered my first A20p (NIC, W2K) at personalware, an IBM
retailer in The Netherlands, about 7 weeks ago. They promised
a two week delivery, but after three weeks of waiting they said
it would be delayed until August (!). I decided to change to
another supplier, they quoted me a two week delivery for an
A20p without the NIC. I ordered it three weeks ago and heard
today, after series of one-day delays, it was shipped back to
IBM due to motherboard problems. They will send me an A20m to
keep my keyboard lit up in the mean while, but still, I'm far
>from happy (and due to their (lack of) service this company
just missed a 50 laptop order my company is going to make
later this year).
I was hoping to avoid the shipping trouble other A20p
purveyors have experienced... Does anyone have similar
experiences in Europe? I believe these units are manufactured
in Scotland. Why is the mini-PCI NIC so incredibly difficult
to put in a laptop like this? They are standard components,
aren't they?
Cheers,
Jeroen
