    The same thing happened to my brother. He received exactly the same
stuff Louis did. My borther says that the screen the asks for the kickstart
disk doesn't look as good as the simular one on the Atari ST. Anyway, my
brother called Commodore about what was happening. Commodore said that
they have a new release of the software almost ready (they did not say
if this was the OS or what) alone with updated manuals. Therefore they 
are holding back the software and documentation untill the new release.
This new release should be real real soon now, my borther got the impression
that it would take a week or two. He received his Amiga on the 13th, and
as of the 21st he had not received the software or manuals.

    I am glad that I am not you or my brother. I'd be very frustrated
right now. But since I have a development system on order (it should
take a couple of more weeks), I may also end in the same position. Let's
hope that they don't take long to get the new release out.
