I ordered my 4DX2-66V on Dec. 11, but I made the mistake of telling the person
taking my order that I had already spoken to a different salesrep.  Well, for
one reason or another, probably that the order was left on my original
sales rep's desk instead of being immediately entered, the order didn't get
logged until Dec. 23.  I'm still waiting.
