Happy us. >-- Yes, be happy! I had ordered my upgrade '040/2.0 back on Oct. 4, 1990. After some investigative prodding by my Regional Mgr., it was finally shipped March 13, 1990, and I finally received it on March 20, 1991 (it first had to go to U. of Alaska, Anchorage, who then shipped it down to me). Some of you guys worry about shipping in 3 weeks...I waited 5 1/2 months! John >Fredrik Nyman - Politically Chaotic and Proud.
