i reserved this past March. my guess, based on what i've seen on this forum, is that i'll get to configure around the end of the year or possibly January 2009.
my DDE currently says "Aug-Oct 2009", so that would make it 9-10 months from 'reservation' to 'configuration' and then an additional 9-10 months from 'configuration' to 'delivery'.

......damn it, now i'm depressed again!
