Nope I don't think you are stupid. I had decided not to post this, but will anyway...

Do yourself a favor, and forget they even have an online tracking system it is a placebo.
They would sure save some phone time if they would update the online system, but that makes sense and does not apply here.

Here is my plight:

1/4/2008 - Online application (They charged my credit card on this date as well)
I didn't think to log the date I received my pin, but it really wasn't that long probably 5-10 days.
1/26/2008 - Took the class
1/29/2008 - Mailed the documentation to DPS
At the date of writing this my status online still says "Packet Mailed to Applicant"
I have called once per week since mid February because I thought it would change to something like "We received packet" NOT.
2/21/2008 - Began Pre-Screen
3/14/2008 - Called DPS got a guy who helped with "We have the packet it is a Pre Screen status. This status started on 2/21 ...."
This is the date they use to start the "60 days".
3/26/2008 - Status online changed to "Processing Application"
4/15/2008 - Status online changed to "Application completed - license issued or certificate active"
4/20/2008 - Received the license in the mail
Update: 3/26/008 - Online status changed to "Processing Application" (my guess I will receive the plastic prior to the next update)

Took 79 days. They have had my money for 102 days.

Good luck to you.
