They are now quoting late january for delivery. The company I work at has 
ten on order, but just received two because they pushed REALLY hard, so 
they could do testing and such. Nice machine, 95 load not available until 
Jan. Upgrading win 3.1 to 95 was pretty ok, almost everything working now.

One thing is curious, turn it off and watch the battery go from 100% to 0% 
in about 3-4 hours. Not sure why, these are some of the things they are 
testing for.

BTW: just saw the latest bond flick and noticed an obvious ibm laptop 
(among several ibm advertisements). Couldn't tell which one though.
