Well, the basic catch is that you have to wait for ever.
Mine's been on order since May 20.  I'm still waiting...

The worst part is: every time I call them, I'm told that it will ship
"within the next 3 days, for sure."  This has been going on for weeks.
At the outset, I got a letter saying it was backordered but that it
"WILL SHIP WITHIN 30 DAYS."  That was 9 weeks ago...
