A friend and I each ordered Lynx's through the Sears catalog, and we
both got them.  About LA and New York distributing--the final word
was that they were only to distribute in New York.  A friend saw the
commercials there, and he tells me they were quite impressive.

Kitty World in San Jose also stocks the Lynx, though I hear they
have sold out several shipments of 50 Lynx's...

It wasn't quite Atari's fault that there weren't several million
Lynx's shipped--the manufacturer of the LCD color screen was the
bottleneck in production;  I believe they made as many Lynx's as
they could buy screens.

In any case, the Lynx side by side with the Gameboy so outshines it
that I think it will do well, regardless of the poor timing...

I hope, anyway...  The Lynx is a wonder of blitter and processor
technology that outshines ANY other home video game...it deserves to
live.  (I can't expand much on that--non-disclosures prevent me--
suffice it to say I was at the Lynx developer's conference way back
when and I know how it ticks...and it certainly ticks QUITE
well...)
