His quote sounds right.  I'm expecting ours to ship on 5-Sep-90 and we
placed the order a few weeks ago. That'll make it about 7 weeks or so.

However, this only applies to the first computer on order.  All other
systems are placed at the end of the ship queue and could take a very long
time to get delivered.  My sales rep won't even commit to a date for our
2'nd system :-(
