No, LRO is out too.  I had my name on order and I _think_ LRO messed it
up.  I kept asking them what the status was and was told that AE was
sending in its last 7 PALs ever and that I was high enough up on the list
that I'd be getting it.  Well, I later read in GEnie, that someone else
was told this and that LRO accidently skipped some people on the top
of the list and sent the chips to the wrong people (he said he heard this
from LRO).  When I called LRO, the guy (John Hiller) denied it and said
AE only sent 3 (or 4) and that I was not high enough up to get those.
I was pissed, so I chewed him out (he didn't deserve it unless he was
lying), but I have heard other horror stories about LRO, so that was just
more fuel for my fire.  (And why would the guy on GEnie make that up?)
Sooooo, if anyone does know of another place, please tell me.  I kinda
lost interest when I realized I could only go from 7 to 10MHz.  I doubt
I have the 'new' TWGS, as I bought mine fairly early.
