He said they'd be carrying them whenever Atari got around to shipping them the ones they'd ordered, and also said that they haven't been able to get any monitors from Atari at all...something about Atari changing brands or vendors or something on the color monitors, and having hit a snafu, so that the warehouse has no monitors of any sort to ship now...should make for an interesting Christmas season!
