<p>We have had HP PC/NB orders pushed from being scheduled for delivery 3 days ago, to next month, now to Unknown TBA...Both Ingram and Dicker..supply chain is starting to bite...</p>

<p>I'm guessing many things will be the same... although HPE/Aruba out of Singapore seems OK at the moment....Just got some of the new Aruba CX 6300 edge delivered ahead of quoted time..</p>
