If there are any back orders at all, you could always be waiting when a new model was announced sure… but nothing as egregious as 18 months.

My dad and I split the cost of an HP-35 and ordered it in early 1972 but it took roughly 6 months to get the unit. Nowhere near 18 months, but much more than 12 weeks.

So, again I ask: where did the 18 months come from in the article I mentioned?
