It's not that the dealers don't stock them!  Dealers are desperate for
them.  (Believe me... I've just gone through this twice in the last
week!)  The problem is that Atari doesn't have any Mega 2s!!  We can't
get them.  I know dealers who've had them on backorder for 4-6 weeks.
Please don't blame this one on the dealers.  It's not their/our fault.

(Brian... look for some more mail from me about this, but I wanted people
to know that it's not because the dealers don't want Mega 2s... they
simply can't get them.)
