I have had it for about a month. My AT&T branch has been ordering it for
customers for about that long. It has been available since early June.
I can't imagine why someone wouldn't want to sell it... I am absolutely
delighted with mine. The UNIX implementation is very clean and the window
manager is fast and easy to use. I can run all of that DOS stuff that I
paid TOO MUCH money for under UNIX too.
