Did anyone manage to get an RIS from Hammacher?  I ordered a couple last • week and
just got an email saying they were unavailable and my order has been
cancelled.

For those of us in Canada, Future Shop seems to still be processing
orders.  The status of my order was previously backordered, "special
order from manufacturer."  It's now listed as in progress, for whatever
that's worth.

Also, I called them up about the $30 rebate, and the rep I spoke to said
they would price-protect my order to match the flyer price of $117.99 CDN
+ taxes (had to fax a copy of the flyer page to him).  That hasn't shown
up in the online status of my order yet though.

I'm still not entirely convinced they'll get any stock, but I can hope.
