It looks like HP has finally started shipping the Slate 500.
HP's "order status" web page continues to be utterly useless, incrementing the "delivery" date field by one day per elapsed day, so that it always shows today's date.
My order was #998. I wonder when they'll get to me? I wonder if I'll be given any warning before it arrives? At the rate things have been going, I won't be the least bit surprised if UPS shows up with it unexpectedly.

The rumor was that they made 5000 and had 9000 orders. If (and this is a big "if") all the people before me ordered one apiece, then I should be comfortably within the "ship now" band.
This whole thing seems like a huge marketing failure. It's almost as if HP didn't really want to sell these.

Well, it was just a bad joke anyway, but if you like, pretend that I wrote that the order numbering starts at -4003.

Enclose all spoilers in spoiler tags:
[spoiler]your spoiler here[/spoiler]
Spoilers which are not properly tagged will be ruthlessly deleted on sight.
Also, I hate unsolicited suggestions and advice. (Even when you think you're being funny.)
At Chizumatic, we take pride in being incomplete, incorrect, inconsistent, and unfair. We do all of them deliberately.
