Hmm, is that so?  I agree that I only repeated the content of their
flyer, and had not contacted them to ask about availability (not having
the slightest interest in SmartSuite).  However, their letter suggested
that stocks were "imminent" (with the supposed release date for the
*announcement* set at 7th April); they also said that they "already have
a long list of customers who are waiting for the product", and an
exhortation to get one's order in quickly to "avoid any supply
bottlenecks".

ISTR that when I bought Warp V4 from them last year, I had to wait ten
days for stock to arrive; whilst my copy of DualStor/2 took four weeks
(and was despatched directly from IBM in Holland).  All the same, they
*did* deliver, and at a good price too.
