Message-ID: <2593@igloo.scum.com> Date: 3 Jul 90 05:06:57 GMT Reply-To: gargoyle!igloo!gwang (George Wang) Followup-To: misc.consumers Distribution: usa Organization: Igloo public access unix, Northbrook IL Lines: 26 Hi! I was just wondering if anyone else had trouble with the massive backorder on the Zeos 386sx laptop.. As of yesterday, Monday, the backorder is now pushed to SEPTEMBER 30, 1990!! Originally they said the third week of July... Then the first week of August... NOW the end of September!! To say the least, I'm quite upset at the whole situation... Unfortunately, their price and my need for a laptop has caused me to wait until it's available.. Supposedly, they are offering a 386-20Mhz laptop as a direct replacement for the same original price of $2195 if you purchased the original 386sx laptop before Monday... Anyways the 386-20 is suppose to be $2995 retail anyways... I would be interested in hearing other users with problems on Zeos... I've had an extremely difficult time reaching ZEOS sales AND techincal support...
