Not on wait list, I think it is one of those pay for it now and they hold 
your money for you. If I have it correctly, they have to order them from 
Farnell<sp?> in England and wait for the shipment.

I'm kind of sensitive when it comes to being disappointed. I recently got 
burned on the 6502.org site trying to buy a 65816 system. I think the guy 
trying to sell me his died so he had a good excuse. I laughed, I cried, I 
kissed my hundred bucks goodbye! I don't mind on line stuff, only been 
burned maybe 8 times in the last 10 years. Heck, your right, it's only $35 
and there's some action going on. I should at least get on the wait list 
even if it costs me. I was looking at Python and it seems enough like 
everything else 'structured programming' that I think I could pick it up.

BTW: There's a ton of knuckleheads on fleabay selling them for 3x their 
original purchase price. I hope a bird shits on their heads!!!

I am in my 60s so now I calculate everything based on my chances of dying 
before it gets here.<grin>
