Heheh, I bet they lasted about 15 minutes, too. I ordered my IIsi through
UT's educational program--it took three weeks to arrive, and to give you an
idea of the order volume, a week before it got here, I was #20 on the waiting
list. My guess is that LCs will probably be backordered four to six weeks
at an educational institution of any size. So don't sell the Mac on your 
desk just yet...!

(I'm assuming, BTW, that your school, like mine, has been accepting deposits
for the LC since the announcement. If not, you may get it sooner.)
