I called yesterday, got put on hold, and then after about ten minutes, the
line went dead. Excellent!

Next, I called again. I was spurred on by the article in Silicon Graphics
World that said 2.0 will be shipping in January. I've heard from elsewhere
that January is a lovely dream for 2.0, but I had this article, that said...

The second call to 1-800-800-4SGI, I got someone who said "It's not released
yet.".

I said "but I just read an announcement that...." he finished my sentence....
"yeah, yeah, in SGI World, right? It's not out yet."
He told me to call my local sales office to get in line for a copy.

The article said that 2.0 will ship in January. Somebody say it's true, please!
16 business days and counting left in January....
