Actually, I only had small, annoying problems regarding pricing when
I ordered ours. It will arrive around April 1st. I've packaged up
ALL of the paperwork and will be handing it out at IPROF in our Exploring

to order these through distributors? The distribution channel does not
have access to this product. It MUST be ordered through the Developers
program and their 800 number!
