Wonder if there's a backlog of stock..??

We've had that on the Aspire side for quite some time now.

There have always been 5 year warranties available, for a price. For the next few months NEC is providing them at no cost to the authorized dealer.

I received the email from NEC today 5/22/07 about the 5 year warranty, the promo started on 5/7/07

Oh, so NEC lets its dealers know about promo's, price changes and etc, 1-2 weeks after the rest of the world is notified, JUST LIKE EVERY OTHER MANUFACTURER! Small World! John C.

I knew the day it came out and it helped close some nice deals.

NEC provides a Portal for these annoucements.

Top NEC distributors use these tools daily and rely on them for up to the minute information.

The best vendors do not sit around waiting to get an email.

are they giving this warranty to people that have had the system for about 8 months now?

Just curious....do you sell the warranty as a "parts only" warranty or do you include labor?

yes, parts only. Labor not included.
