More than 10 years ago I already used MASM with a full Win32 library. Having to use that instead of C/C++ would not slow me down very much.

I ordered a heavily customized computer and 19" monitor (not Dell brand) for my wife a month or so ago. It shipped the next day. The monitor followed two days later; although it did state it wasn't going to ship for three more weeks initially. I'm guessing they drop ship the monitors from the source vendor, and they're using a leadtime provided by that vendor.
