P8X32A-D40 updated delivery date: right around or before December 4th

Hey there,
For those patiently waiting for Propeller DIP chips, I'm providing an update. Today the chips finally left packaging and headed to testing, which means in a week they'll be shipping from SE Asia to Parallax. This puts their availability right around Thanksgiving, or since we are closed at the end of that week, just around/before December 4th. I don't see why we'd have any problems at this stage. And in the future we don't expect to have this problem again, or at least I should say "we better not have this problem again". Various measures have been added to our process to eliminate a repeat problem. . . but I can still hear Hanno squawking from here so we'll have to show you that we can do this right, else I might have to eat a few chips myself.
And for those in the UK, I found a few rails at our distributor "Active Robots" today. These were sitting on the shelf, ready for purchase.
