I Ordered My 2m (2 Of Them) Upgrades dec 14, with the rest of my Mac II order
and got them last week.  I understand that there is a 14-16 week backup in
orders.  In my opinion, you are getting shafted.  I got mine thru the
U. of Pittsburgh computer center, and I must say that my order was
"expedited" (if you can call a 12 week wait expedition) by our apple rep
because our university dealer failed to mention the backlog to our sales folk
and this was their way of making the oversight up.

Sorry I posted this instead of mailing, but my mailer croaked on your address.
