- I ordered my 4DX2-66V on Dec. 11, but I made the mistake of telling the person
- taking my order that I had already spoken to a different salesrep. Well, for
- one reason or another, probably that the order was left on my original
- sales rep's desk instead of being immediately entered, the order didn't get
- logged until Dec. 23. I'm still waiting.
