- I ordered a PB180 4/120 and I got it in about 7 weeks. But I didn't quite

- I waited for my PB170, my PB180 got to me in a hurry.

- But think. If you order a 185C in the second quarter of '93, you probably won't
- see it until third quarter. Expect at least a 10-12 week delivery cycle. And
- keep in mind that you're basing your 185C target on a RUMOR. Apple could very
- well wait until their November rollout for the PB185C (or whatever).
