Nope… for some reason, the dealers here in Ohio seem to be in OK stock condition… I picked up a 3000/25-50 without any ordering or wait. I remember a couple of months ago, a dealer in the Cincinnati area told me he was ordering way above normal just so he could have them in stock… he said that most dealers don't do that, and that most want deposits on CPU's before they commit to inventory. How's that for supporting the Amiga? And these are the Authorized Delaers! (although who can really blame them?). So, I think that's what the real problem is. Dealers just didn't want to purchase inventory ahead of time and risk the investment. Now that the demand is there, CBM is a little behind. – Whapping from the North Coast Michael
