Then, after close consideration of Apple.co.uk lineup, one puts carefully worded proposal to them. After longwinded negotiations, detente is reached. Then, employer puts proposal to university purchasing syndicate. All being well, syndicate puts order to Apple Inc and Xtin takes joyful delivery of MacBook Pro. <BR/><BR/>At the moment, we are at that moment preceding "all being well". So everyone please kindly hope that all is well and joyful delivery is imminent. <BR/><BR/>Are we at 33 comments yet?Xtinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05284726953322709781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17586643.post-1161832638923534822006-10-26T04:17:00.000+01:002006-10-26T04:17:00.000+01:00How long does it take for a laptop to arrive?How long does it take for a laptop to arrive?Scrivenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05922358016805022637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17586643.post-1161368098910807612006-10-20T19:14:00.000+01:002006-10-20T19:14:00.000+01:00OTOH, maybe I can still make it to 33!OTOH, maybe I can <B>still</B> make it to 33!Scrivenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05922358016805022637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17586643.post-1160639400502798792006-10-12T08:50:00.000+01:002006-10-12T08:50:00.000+01:00Yay!
