- I didn't mean that they were halting production. We have had some units
- on order for three months now and they are so incredibly backlogged that
- we're looking elsewhere. Several different suppliers here have been
- unable to locate anyone who has stock. We have talked directly to USR and
- they mentioned something about a component supplier being unable to
- deliver, but that they are back on-line. However it will take quite some
- time for them to catch up. That's what they told us.

- Having said all this, our supplier called yesterday to say he'd found
- somebody who has 20 of these in stock. We have 3 of them coming and they
- should be here Saturday. He's reserving several for us now :-)
