I hear they just received another 1900 of the units shortly ago --
this from a phone call I made today to talk with them about my order.
I just had two units shipped with _overnight_with_morning_delivery
FedEx shipping to my home and received them this morning. (I had
received, mid-March, two prior ones from a different order made in
late Feb.) I had ordered eight more though and they screwed up the
order so I was on the phone with them yesterday (and today) about it.
Looks like I'll get the next six in a week or so after they get you
folks your pieces and figure out how they messed up my order.

The two they did ship me shows a shipping form with "ordered 2,
shipped 2" which is wrong and a nice refund of money at the bottom of
it -- which is also wrong, assuming they figure things out. The order
billed me for two units then credited me a discount for eight units
and the discount, of course, more than made up for the two units
charged. Funny, in a way. Except I'd like the other six to arrive.
