Re: 1160 Waiting list...

Cleavis-

They are working through it. I passed on mine because someone posted 
here about the Staples auctions as a source for one and I bought one 
there 2 days ago. The Geodata ones are all brand new, not 
reconditioned this time.

If anyone wants one, they should call in NOW.
