I swear, you guys are killin' me... ;-)

Sure will be happy when they get through the first day or even hour of the List. Someone wake me if they get one and had a reservation date of 12/18/01!

How do you know what number you were?

I know my number but how does the numbering sceme work?

Jon,
I believe the numbering goes like so: If your user number was 1XXX when you received the go ahead to order then XXX is your number. I could be totally wrong though.

I believe your number is your reservation number - 1000.

I believe the thinking on the numbers is that your place in line is equal to the user ID number that Outlaw emailed to you, minus 1000. The information we don't have is how many people in front of you dropped off the list, meaning you'll get your unit sooner. It should be a good 'worst case' number though.

Of course, if we're only on #17, there's a long way to go. Still no charge on my credit card, and I'm in the low 100's.

We don't even know if Outlaw has more than 100 units stateside at the moment. There could be a long delay between the first 100 and next 100 shipped. Some were theorizing they had 200 units stateside.

I sincerely wish Outlaw would just let people know roughly when those of us very early on the list (say, the first hour) should expect their units. This probably represents a few hundred units at most. Knowing if we can expect them this week, next week, next month would be plenty.

Given their latest newsletter, it could take up to _three weeks_ from when they first said it would take _two weeks_ to let people know when to expect units. I find it frustrating that they're dragging their feet on this, knowing people are hanging on their every word. It's cruel, but perhaps not unusual.

Time for a positive attitude
(my day needs it)

I am SURE Outlaw is currently implementing a new email system to allow everyone to get an up to date status on their system being delivered. I am also sure the overseas deliveries are in the air as we speak.

*disclaimer*
I have no real idea. But makes me feel better readin it

I'm also in the low 100's, and very fustrated that I may have missed the first shipment by a matter of seconds. I'm hoping that either enough people ahead of me dropped out to bump me into the first batch of 100, or that they already have more than 100 units stateside.

Although I would VERY much appreciate some sort of indication from the Outlaws on this... it's inexcusable for them to leave us hanging like this. Two weeks is nonsense; I was within days of receiving my unit when shipments were halted.

For what it's worth, my new serial number is in the mid-280's (old unit was around 50). I'm guessing that they've got a pile of at least 250 950's, with some of those lost to the dropout/S-video problem and subsequent testing. Probably more, unless they shipped me that last one to hit the states. Pure, utterly unofficial estimation/assumtion on my part, but it still seems like a fairly reasonable guess and there are supposed to be more units following by air. As for the "100 units" figure that has appeared around here, I may have missed it but I don't know where it came from -- I wonder if it was pulled out of the air or had some basis in fact at some point.

We've also got at last count three delivered units now -- and that's just Saloon members.

Remember this...do you really think they would only put 100 units on a flight? You are proabbly looking at a crate full of 950's.

That is probably like 250 or 500 even
