Thanks for the info, Morgan.

Does that mean it's available for purchase through Amazon on the G1G1  
program, too? (Guess not.) Last time I looked it said that the  
product is unavailable and they don't know when it will be. ... And  
why won't they let us buy from Amazon on the G1G1 program?

I have half the Rotary club here clamoring for them (they've just  
sponsored our WiFi network..... eventually after trying for a year an  
a half to get the promised sponsorship from ....... (names withheld.)

Lemme see now, 100 x $259.00 = $25,900 = R259,000.  ..... times by  
400 = R1,036,000.00 for us to get a school up and running. We have  
the XS server and support team, but where do you think we can get the  
money? Any suggestions?
