- The mistake was to go through Borland. I got my copy in 2.5 weeks
- through a local dealer. Advice: The dealer probaly doesn't have
- it in stock. Make them call their distributor to give you an exact
- estimate of how long it will take to get the copy, don't just
- "take their word" for it! Order times vary with dealers.
