Dell's Random Fluctuations

The order confirmation email from Dell after my purchase last week has a link to click to view product information and tracking information.

Only, based (apparently) purely on the luck of the draw, clicking the link displays one of two different items, both labeled as a computer. Each has its own tracking id, and one of them is shown as scheduled to arrive today, while the other is scheduled to arrive on Thursday.

Since they're both labeled as An Inspiron 1720, one could hope that I'm actually getting two computers for the price of one.

But probably they've mislabeled one of them, and it's actually a wireless mouse, or a carry case.

And knowing my luck, I'll get the carry case today, and nothing to put in it until the end of the week.

Or, knowing my luck, one is a mouse, one is a carrying case, and they forgot to send the computer. :D

3:47 PM: Package number one was a mouse AND a carrying case. So. Lucky me. At least I have something to put my mouse in. :)
