The chips were supposed to be available in early November so that
the product would be available for Christmas. However, we received
word about a week ago that the chips were delayed until late Decmeber.
So, January delivery looks good. However, we have learned from 23 years
in this business that new product is delayed more than it is on time.
We will know for certain that they are here when they get here. But
right now January is as good a guess as any.
