I never thought about it, but I think you're right, I got the email to purchase my 1070 around the holidays, and then received it in January or February I believe. Wow, how fast time goes by sometimes.
Edit: Or maybe, now that I think about it, was it only a year ago?
Edit2: Checked my old emails, I ordered August 28, 2005. I believe I was in one of the first couple sets of orders. I'm positive though that it was a month or so later before I got it, because I was at college when I received it.
