I bought mine from the DAK Showroom Friday 6/7, and they had several dozen
sitting there for the taking.  I'm sure if you move quickly you could still
get one.  Here's some useful info about DAK:

DAK: Customer Service (800)888-7808  M-F 6am-6pm, S 9am-3pm PST
     Technical Info   (800)888-9818              "
     TDD              (800)888-6703              "
     FAX Orders       (800)888-2837  ?
     Showroom         (800)888-1399  ?
     Orders           (800)325-0800  24 hours/day, 7 days/week

Their showroom (where you can play with an Ultralite) and returned-items
outlet are at 8200 Remmet Ave., Canoga Park CA 91304.  Items bought here
have a 45-day, rather than 30-day, money-back guarantee.

IME Computers in Boston [(800)999-1911] sells refurbished 2MB Ultralites
for $699, and has been claiming for several weeks that they are expecting
18 more "soon".  They are keeping a list of people who call expressing
interest.
