What caused the original "out of stock" mix-up ??.... Near as I can determine from our contract coordinator, when she originally put in the order it was submitted as a request to *RELEASE* 6.5 EXP2 to us. Response to that was "temp out of stock". But now after I told her that HP RC sez there are plenty 6.5 EXP2 available, she put in a second request to *SHIP* same. ... "SHIP" was apparently the magic word... Why does one work and the other not; for exactly the same thing ??... I don't have the foggiest; it's on the way; I'll be content with that.... Ken Sletten
