Look, this is the internet. I don't know any of you or trust any of you. If you say someone at MSI emailed you or you talked to them on the phone. You think I believe you?!

I'll go by what the website says, and not annoy the hell out of the customer service over something rumored or true, when the 27th hasn't even passed yet.

And if it is delayed, big deal. The world won't stop turning. Certainly not something I'm going to get angry about or lose sleep over!

AMEN

Wow some bad denial from you good sir.

I e-mailed them because of the website Order Status functioning not working and an unorthodox method of the charging a card before an item ships. I only questioned a ship date because i was sending an e-mail already.

Dear XXXX:

Yes, we have charged the credit on all customers who placed wind NB with us. As for the shipment, I haven’t heard anything otherwise. If there is a delay, we will send a notice to each customer. Let me know if you have any questions. Thank you.

Regarding the delay.. this is what she responded too

Quote:

Also I'm reading of possible delays? Any idea what is going on? The website stated that orders would ship on June 27th and was looking to get this notebook before my trip on July 1st (hence why I chose overnight shipping).

Hey guys,

Can we tone it down a little bit. We all want the wind now, but jabbing each other is not gonna make it happen any faster.

Most laptops are transported using commercial cargo aircraft, so they arrive fairly quickly. I know when I buy HP/Compaq products sometimes they are shipped directly from China to my doorstep via Fedex. I think if there is a delay, it has to do with the shortage of battery, not MSI's production capability. Right now I think the laptops are already manufactured well in advance, just waiting for the battery to be packaged.

I don't think there will be a delay now after the response I got and if there were.. we'd get an e-mail about it immediately.

Hey, even this MSI Blog confirmed it.

Enjoy your ban. (You should have been banned a week ago)

Um... you quoted the offending URL. Please edit / remove it before someone accidentally clicks on it.

Alright, thanks to Staker it was only up for 5 minutes at most.
We were already voting on rewarding him with a permanent IP ban. This folly obviously speeded things up a bit.
Edit: For clarity, we gave him the permanent IP ban right away.

So maybe someone should take down the article on the front page, it will just confuse people, and this guy is about as trustworthy as, umm, some really untrustworthy person on the internet... Sorry, couldn't come up with anything for that.

Who was banned and for what?!? :conf:

Galahad · **Posted:** Thu Jun 26, 2008 1:04 am

The guy who started this thread, for being fail at life. And making up rumors about delays then posting porn links, the usual...

Therefore lifetime IP ban = OWNED

Well, if the "MSI Blog"

is the only "source", it certainly doesn't lend much credibility to the rumor. It still doesn't explain why he would start it. To get attention? :?:

So that people would bicker over it for 6 pages of thread, entertainment if you will.

Mods seeing as this thread is likely BS, can you remove it to avoid the spreading of misinformation?

Or at least close it

deimos · **Posted:** Thu Jun 26, 2008 1:24 am

The Rocks face..noooooooooo lol

Why would MSI be getting a shipment from "overseas"?

w.markegard · **Posted:** Thu Jun 26, 2008 2:08 am

Oh, antisocial? He was a jerk in every thread I saw him post in.
