At 10:00 am 5/13 I walked into the dealer and asked.  He said he didn't have it.  When I flattered him by explaining that Apple sent out some packages to dealers the prior week (under the condition that they be kept on ice until Magic Monday) and that _certainly_ his dealership was on the list, he called the warehouse and indeed found a stash of a couple hundred Personal Upgrade Kits.  They came into the store at 5:00 pm, and yes, I was the first in central Ohio to get a kit.

Now to unwrap it....

...but not until I'm certain we won't see another 6.0.6/6.0.7 deal....
