Two months?  Arrrgh... I hope not!  At least you seem to have a reasonable
dealer who is willing to make special allowances for their customers.  My
dealer (J & C Computers) is only 20 minutes away, but it is the only one
for 2000 miles, as far as I know.  Oh sure, they are helpful enough (in a
sort of slimy used car salesman sort of way) if they think you are going
to buy something at list, but try to get something on a discount program
and watch that enthusiasm dry up.   I tried asking them if they had *any*
idea when the shipment might come in and their immediate stock reply was a
brusque, "No"  (with an implied, "Now go away and stop bothering us about it).
When I pressured them, they tried, "Any day now."  That was about two weeks 
ago.   Hrmmmph...

>Hope I get mine before you get yours :^)

I would indeed be one sad puppy...
