Anyone else order Caladans from Clayton Shaw?

Anyone else order Caladans from Clayton Shaw?
So Clayton called me back this evening to let me know that he had my order.  There was a snafu with the company that processes the credit card receipts.  Seems like all is good for now.  They are not building any units yet.  He says probably in a ...
