I've had my 1040 just over a week, and I'm pleased. It was worth waiting a
couple of weeks, as I had to do. Apparently the owner of The Bit Bucket in 
Newton, Mass., which claims to be the only dealer in New England, is friendly
with Mr Tramiel, so they get reasonable supplies. In fact The Great Jack
favored the store with a visit last week--he could hardly do that if the 
shelves had been empty.

A Bug. The composite and r/f outputs aren't installed. I called the store
when I discovered this, which is important to me as I have a b&w system
and it's my only way to see color; in fact Neo won't run at all in 
monochrome. They said the modulators will arrive in a couple of months and
then they'd install them free. Grrr.
