[Technic] Slow Gateway Orders

[cwilson at cardinals.k12.mo.us]

We ordered 88 in May.  I've heard a batch of promises but no results.  I 
did a first and sold my old machines in May not expecting any problem.  
I also was told that I was upgraded to try to speed them up.  I'm really 
getting nervous as I'm down to two weeks before school starts.  I 
ordered XP Pro.  The relocation seems to be the issue.  I was told Tues 
that I could cancel the order but it's to late now and I've been Gateway 
twelve years. I knew it would be awhile when I ordered but was told July 
6th when I ordered.  Chuck
