Well, I called up EduCALC today at 1-800-677-7001 (which is what 800
directory assistance gave me, since I didn't have my catalog handy at
the time. The phone on the catalog for credit card orders only is
1-800-633-2252 ext 356 and it's 24h/day, 7days/week.  The 677-7001
phone is also valid, but only from 8am to 5pm PST). 

The nice young lady at the phone told me they had just received them
today and they would be shipping tomorrow. (Need I say that I ordered
one? Nah, it's obvious!) At any rate the thing is $279+p&p ($4.50 UPS,
$6.50 FedEx 2nd day air, $16.00 FedEx overnight). I took the 6.50
FedEx deal. 

Places like 47th street photo might have comparable (or even lower)
prices, but they never give info over the phone (at least not to me!)
so I didn't even bother calling them. 

Of course, this won't be of any help to you if you want to play with
it before bying it (as if you could resist bying it anyway). 

Watch this space for more info when I receive it.
