I also ordered one yesterday. There was a 10% off coupon which was
expiring yesterday, so decide to use. It paid for the CA tax :-) I
went to the san jose office and talked to the sales manager, Jack. Saw
the demo first hand, was really impressed. Ordered right there and he
told me about the 10% off coupon ! Also  got the d4 to female
connector and nice iodata coffee cup as a momento :-)
