    those delayed did yours end up at the Hatfield depot.

    Wonder if a big bunch just got thrown in the back of a truck on sat/sun using the destination of the one on top.

    Still no change or text and I did give them my number

    Received mine at 2pm.

    It's a 160gb - but thats enough for me.

    Just been setting it up and installing the things i want on it.

    It came with the Bull Guard Security on a disc................. to install yaself.

    Also a free trial of McAfee was already installed.

    I've got rid, and downloaded my preffered free anti virus instead.

    Thanks Again OP - I've never had a netbook before and this is brill!

    I'm hoping they just try and redeliver tomorrow, I have phoned the courier and left a message. The depot they use a good distance away so will wait for redelivery.

    I would never go back to a full size laptop now, netbooks are so convenient and I have an external dvd which I rarely use but is there if I need it.

    Dalek ordered the Dell and so did I. I have been using a Dell Mini 10 for about 18 months or so and jumped at the chance to get another at this price.:D
