[Testing] Trial-3 Schedule Change

[Kim Quirk]

Mary Lou,
After you left the Quanta meeting I pushed Arnold very hard on whether there
was any way they were going to pull this schedule back in -- since it is not
appropriate to keep changing the schedule with this many people involved and
he said 'no'. I also checked with Robert and Arnold checked with a few
people at Quanta. Pushing out is easy, pulling in is not.

So, please don't ask for any heroics on Quanta's part. Let's work to this
schedule and get a good quality build on the laptops for MP.

Thanks,
Kim
