I'm still waiting on 2 RPIs from Allied also, but I did see that Newark had 100 in stock last night, I hit the order button and started to place my order only to have the website go down.. probably due to supercomputer orders from the UK.. ;-) Anyway I got an order into Newark for two RPIs this morning and they are in stock. :-) I still have an order outstanding with Allied also - and I am at week 8, but in the interim my CC card expired... oh well. If they don't let me cancel the order, my expired CC will remedy the problem. :-) Dave ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
