This is a follow up to my email about Brian Ullestad and getting a quote for a system.

The reason that he wasn’t able to match prices was because the system I requested a price matching quote on was a fast track system (I didn’t recognize that or even know what fast track was)   

Fast track systems are evidently preconfigured so they ship out  earlier and you get them in a couple of days after ordering.   Right now Dell doesn’t offer fast track to education, but I believe it will soon.    That’s why he was unable to quote it.  

So the problem wasn’t that Brian was unwilling to match my quote, after I sent out the email to the list I requested a price match again and told him I didn’t care if the computer was fast track or not, Brian matched and even beat the price I was trying to get.  

Brian has always been willing to work with me and match prices to make sure that MSU gets a great deal.   

Thanks to everybody who responded with quotes, I’ve attached the quote he provided me.
