I wonder how long it'll take for me. I finally caved and signed up Sept 2.

Figure it'll go real nice with a Pioneer DV-45a...

March! They arent even thru Feb, as I am on the list for FEB 10 !Still no word!!!

I guess I'm secretly hoping (O.K...not so secret anymore) that there was an initial rush of pre-orders in that first month or so.
(Refresh my memory...reservations started on or about Dec. 14th ??)
Alot of people signed up right away. Then, hopefully, it drops off a little. Then you get the beta testers reviews, which were all positive. So, the number of reservations went up for a while. Then dropped off again.
I guess my point is, there's alot more people to get through in the earlier stages of the list. As you get lower(or later), the reservations are more sporadic and (hopefully) easier or quicker to fill.
Make sense ??!

I think EFSIII's not-so-secret hope is pretty close to what we've heard from Outlaw in the past. The initial mid-December rush of reservations was apparently far larger than they expected, and the beta testers started talking in early February, which brought a second rush. They've been notifying people who got on the list around January 17 and 18 or so this week. There have been some people who will have dropped off the list, too.

I'm looking forward to seeing the arrival thread kick back into gear as they start back on the list...

Thanks Gonk! The last reservation I saw filled, back in May, was for Jan. 14th. I figured I was in the next batch to be shipped when the "halt" came. Man, I was totally bummed!

It's beginning to look like Jan. 19-20 may be the latest cutoff, but we'll see.

It really makes me laugh when I read all of the "I can't wait" posts. They certainly can wait, they just don't have the patience. Remember no one "needs" a pre-pro, but some like to think they do...

Remember, "Good things come to those who wait." and "Patience is a virtue."

Enjoy,
Kurt

Patience...I could have sworn I had patience around here...I always seem to be losing it but I got a lot of it somewhere!

Yes, _Patiently_ waiting for Outlaw to get to June on the waitlist...maybe I will make myself feel better by getting the 770 now...

Oaf

I’m having visions of a bunch of men, sitting around on their respective curbs, with interconnects bunched in their fists, waiting for little trucks to roll by.

Reminiscent of the days when the fists held grubby quarters, and the truck had audio playing ‘Do you know the Ice-Cream Man’.

SLL: Are you trying to say that all us men ever think about is food and....

audio?

DON'T BE WEARY!!! I put my order for my 950 in last night and discovercard called me this afternoon asking about a fraudulant charge!!! Seems that the 924 (shipping incl) is more than my normal purchase (I just graduated from Texas A&M, Computer Engineering). A five minute call and it was all sqared away.

The moral: they said they would not charge until it was shipping...they charged today...the minutes for my outlaw 950 delivery are such sweet sweet sorry! I almost wish I had gone for overnight, BUT I have to leave tonight for a weekend business meeting in Dallas...

IT WONT BE LONG OTHER WAIT LISTERS!

That's hilarious!

I'm wondering if there might be a 3rd "rush" of orders a little while ago after the S&V review came out.

Perfect Vision is supposed to review it next issue, but I'd be surprised if they gave it a good review, seeing as how to me, TPF reviews primarily according to list price...
