Consider me the horse's mouth, among other equine orifices (orifici?) Some
dealers have them on order already. Some dealers don't order until they get
a consumer request. Some dealers have credit problems. Some dealers keep a
good number "in the pipeline" and are usually near the top of the list...
Every time I say two weeks, I get calls on the 15th day. Therefore, I refer
the right honorable gentlemen to the reply I gave some postings ago. ;)
