MSI Wind Review

As I stated last week, I ordered a MSI wind from amazon. com for $338.00.  I ordered with two-day shipping.  That order got lost by amazon and never shipped.  Amazon re-ordered the netbook for me at a higher price, after the order time for a fifty dollar rebate but put on next day shipping for free.  I called and spoke with someone about my order and they adjusted the price and I  asked about when it was going to ship, they had no clear answer, other then the date listed on the website.  The day it was scheduled to ship I called and asked if the netbook would ship and the CSR said that they ran out of stock and offered without hesitation to knock off $100.00.  I said that was fine with me,  then I realized that because of the re-order I missed that rebate.  I called again and the CSR said she would apply the $50.00 rebate for me off the price, she must have made a mistake and took $110.00 off.  So this wonderful device I got for 228.95 shipped.  the moral of the story, persistence pays off.  I will review the netbook as i get time and after the thing is set-up to my liking.
