Which machine will arrive first?

With the announcement of a "free upgrade" to the Elonex OneT that has greeted most of us when we were asked to confirm and pay for our order, the question arises - which machines will arrive first?!

Does the offer of the OneT mean the One has been delayed?

So the competition is on - please let us know which machine you ordered by clicking on the "poll" on the right. And when your machine arrives, please come back here and tell us by voting in the second poll.

Please also feel free to add comments to the blog about your machine once it arrives.

(All comments will be moderated - please keep to the subject of this blog...)

Home computer delays seem familiar?

The story so far of the Elonex One reminds me of the days of the Sinclair Spectrum and BBC Micro.

I remember sending off my cheque for a Sinclair Spectrum 48 and receiving a postcard in return announcing that the machine would be delivered in 28 days - only to be followed 28 days later by another postcard saying that it would actually arrive within the following 28 days - repeated until eventually the long awaited introduction to computing did finally arrive.
