Well, I got mine at Elek-Tek (in person, not mail order), and they gave me
a coupon when I bought it.  The coupon must be filled out and sent in with
a copy of your receipt and part of your 48 box.  The coupon says that delivery
requires 4-6 weeks.  I assume that they will include a coupon in mail orders
also.

Hope this helps.

PS - I bought mine on 9-30, and my roommate bought one 10-9.  Transferring
files over the infrared is fast and easy.  What a trip!  This thing has more
memory and stores data easier than my first computer (Timex-Sinclair 1000),
which cost almost as much as the 48 by the time I added the 16K memory upgrade.
And the 48 has a nicer keyboard :-)

Where's grumpy old man when you need him?  (Flibble-dee floo!)
