I ordered Degas Elite from Computer Creations Inc. of Centerville, OH. Five days later (last Saturday) I got a letter saying that "Batteries Included has filed for bankruptcy. Degas Elite is therefore not available at this time." I called several other mail-order places, and, while no one else used the word "bankruptcy", none of them have Degas Elite, and they are not receiving shipments from Batteries Included. (I don't recall who else I called, except that Software Discounters of America was one of them). It seems that the reports of B.I.'s death are not a total fabrication, although I continue to hope the truth is a little less drastic.
