Yeah.  I called up my local rep on a friday (11/2), reserved a
machine, and paid an extra $50 to have it flown in via overnight
express (I think from Chicago since the machine was on central time).
I had the cube up and running Monday afternoon.  Now I'm about to
order an upgrade board and get my home ethernet set up.  My old ibm-pc
has been earmarked as a slip-to-thinnet router.  What fun!
