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

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

For some reason I can't upload my .pdf of this letter to Photobucket, but if anyone wants a copy of it, just contact me at [email protected]. I'll send it along via email.
