**** Hah! That's nothing! I ordered(and paid for) a TR3 board-that-goes
-behind-the-gas-tank from TRF about four years ago! Admittedly, there's
not nearly as much cash involved. Heck, I forgot all about the damn thing,
except that TRF listed it as an outstanding backorder on all the other
paperwork they sent me. And just a couple months ago, they sent me a letter
about it; seems they shall shortly have TWO different ones, and they asked
which one I want.
Then there was the fancy original-equipment-repro TR3 luggage rack that
I had on back-order for about a year. I asked the telephone person why
so long: ``Well, the guy who makes them is in jail. We're waiting for him
to get out so he can make some more'' :-).
So can anybody beat my record for the longest backorder?
