- Over the years I bought several...
-
- Years ago a plus took two weeks. This was just before CHristmas in a
- special bundle.
-
- A few years later, an SE took nearly three months. This was ordered in
- November and came the next Feb. The claim was that the SE was new and
- was scarce.
-
- Two years ago I ordered an SE/30 with a personal lw/sc The SE/30 was to
- have one floppiy drive, but no hard drive (I would add my own). The
- lw/sc came in two weeks, but they wouldn't let me have it until the
- SE/30 came. after two months they decided that Apple wasn't making any
- more without the HD, so I had to pay extra to get that. By then they had
- sold my LW/SC so I had to wait a week for another. What a mess. (BTW,
- these were all purchased through different schools).
-
- Bottom line, be prepared to wait.
