Interesting tidbit, each distributor was limited to ordering no more than 100 units.

Has anyone seen this before or do I have something unusual?

Almost all 520 owners, like me, have a copy if that letter. It has been circulating around for quite some time. They are handy to have though, it gives you a bit of provenance.
