I expect it should be easier to get A/UX and find out about it now. 
However, if you still have problems getting information about Apple
products and their availability, you should call Apple's Customer
Assistance Line, (800) 776-2333.

If there isn't a dealer in your area, you can still order it from a
mail-order house (e.g. Maya Computer.)

;-) Write me a check. Seriously, availability (and the product itself) 
have been improving consistently since A/UX's introduction, so most 
people who want it should be able to get it.
