I ordered Degas Elite from Computer Creations Inc. of Centerville, OH.
Five days later (last Saturday) I got a letter saying that "Batteries
Included has filed for bankruptcy.  Degas Elite is therefore not available
at this time."  I called several other mail-order places, and, while no
one else used the word "bankruptcy", none of them have Degas Elite, and
they are not receiving shipments from Batteries Included.  (I don't recall
who else I called, except that Software Discounters of America was one
of them).  It seems that the reports of B.I.'s death are not a total
fabrication, although I continue to hope the truth is a little less
drastic.
