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.
