Joe;
That was the past not the present or the future. I would hate to scare people
off but up
to a few months ago, US tower was indeed quoting 7-8 weeks and people lived by
it
knowing they were getting a super product. NOW, things have changed and
deliveries are
within 2-3 weeks and a little time longer for motor driven units.
Again I am sorry delivery took so long but this is a new year and there are
right on
target.
One other thing,"cash flow" has nothing to do with delivery so I am not sure
where thats
comes from.
Hope the above answers everything 100%
Regards,
Joel
