Natta! > ^^^^^ > The reason for the LC delay is that it started production later than the IIsi. Nothing more, nothing less (about a month's difference). Also the LC's not made in the US, so getting out takes a little longer--shipping time and getting-through-customs time may add a week vs the US-made IIsi. It DOES have FCC aproval. Dealer's should start to see the units around the 1st week of Dec (the quanity will probably be so low that they'll only be able to demo them). But, they are comming. The Jan/Feb date that people talk about is when you can EASILY get your hands on an LC; they are going to be starting to get out there in early Dec, but quanities will be limited until Jan. By the way, the IIsi NuBus adapter cards may (<< this is a schedule that MAY slip) start showing up around the 1st or 2nd week of Dec, also. The '030 adapter cards are still a little ways off. So you may start seeing the products in the begining of Dec, but don't go hounding your dealers for them now! These times are of today--they may slip. I just thought the net would be interested in some *fuzzy* schedule projections. Again (overkill?), these are NOT OFFICIAL APPLE schedules, they are only my best guesses/information.
