Commodore is a strange company...After Memorial Day, they shut down for a week for inventory...They do this from time to time I was told, and when they get near these periods, the largest orders get processed first I guess..At least what the local people that work at the dealers have told me this....Plus with power up going on, who knows how many units they are backordered on... -Ron -- C-UseNet V0.42d Ronald Kushner Life in Hell BBS +1 (313) 939-6666 P.O.
