There shouldn't be _any_ orders received _in_quantity_ at this point.
NeXT informed us at GAC that they are going to try to distribute the
machines they have as widely as possible, rather than just filling big
orders first.  This hopefully means that most everyone who ordered
more than a couple will get one fairly soon.  It also means the bigger
orders won't be fully filled for awhile, but that's the breaks (it's
better than filling the big orders first, that's for certain . . .
from the point of view of a not-that-big-of-order school . . .)
