A friend of mine ordered a 3000 last monday on the powerup deal <he also has a
5 meg 2000 with an 85 megger...>

Incidentally, orders of 40 3000's a day are being sent in to commodore
explaining to him why his 3000 is on a 2 week <or so> backlog. He aint too
happy because he already paid for it but I explained to him I waited 2 weeks
for my 500 to be filled from stock at Amaginations when I ordered it via
Educational Discount in November... then I added how long people were waiting
for their 040 Nexts and apparantly the deluge of orders for Mac Classics 
resulted in a rather long wait if a store I called was accurate <a 1 month long
backlog if I remember right>

We might hit the 1 million mark this year <in the US and 4 million worldwide>
if this continues...
