Fair enough. Can you throw us some kind of a bone as to why the delivery date keeps leaping ahead, a year at a time? When I put my deposit down, it was due in November of 1998. A cursory search through mail shows a explanation from Jordan that there were various logistical problems, those were overcome, Applix is now aware of the demand for this product, blah, blah, blah. The dates keep moving, the explanations remain non-existent. The customers who invested in this worthy cause might merit some small explanation why delivery date has thus far moved ahead two years.
