Anyone considering purchasing PC-DITTO II might want to consider otherwise.
First, the coupons for registered users, were mailed very late.
Once receiving the coupon, one could see how unexpectedly late they really
were (by noticing the deadline for use of the coupon was already past).  They
extended the deadline, and said allow 4-6 weeks for delivery.
I ordered mine 5 weeks ago, and know of others who have ordered theirs about
7 weeks ago.
First I was told by Avant-Garde that they will begin shipping them by the first
of this month.
I have been calling Avant-Garde every few days, (including today), and every
time I get through now, I am told that they will be shipping "sometime" this
month.  I don't expect to see a pc-ditto II before the end of this semester.
By the way, all orders had to be accompanied by a money order... So they are
all already paid for...

They (at Avant-Garde) say they are in the "production" stage.

If I were to recieve a pc-ditto II, I would cease to be upset (unless it did
not work properly), and post messages telling everyone how wonderful they are.
 
But I don't see that happening anytime this year... (no less this "month")...

disclaimer: I don't care if anyone thinks the way I do, it's their
              fault if they do...
