All none of them?  ;)

Barry:  How many orders have we taken in last 24 hours?
Leo:  Errr... zero.
Barry:  Are you sure?
Leo:  Yep, I counted them... twice!

Good one Darrin!

That is exactly the number I was guessing they had sold so far too.  I guess great minds think alike.

Like everyone else here (except maybe one member), I doubt that any of these exist yet and this is just an idea that Barry and his staff (Leo), have thought of trying out.  The reason for the 4 to 6 week delivery time is so Leo can order all the separate parts at the lowest prices he can find online and then wait the one to two weeks for them to get delivered.  Then it takes a few more days for Leo to take the case to the engraver shop to get the Amiga logo lettering engraved into the case.  Another day to take a picture, so they will have something besides a photoshop version to show everyone two months from now and  then another week  to assemble the parts in the newly engraved case, so they can put it all into a generic box with a photoshoped label pasted on it, so it will be ready to ship to the buyer.

Ta Da! 4 to 6 weeks later you get their amazing new "Amiga" delivered to the 2 buyers dumb enough to buy one of these systems.  8 weeks later CUSA has to come up with a new plan to try to make money from the Commodore & Amiga names that they have purchased, because their plans so far aren't getting them anywhere and they are probably starting to realize that CUSA is loosing money too quickly and with all the bad press and lack of sales, they will soon be out of business and can't resell the only thing that they have that is worth anything, the license to use the Commodore and Amiga names.  At least let us hope that they cannot sub-lease this license that then purchased to use those names.
How are you helping the Amiga community? :)
