I registered 20-12-1998 and got a mail from hugo the 28th that my registration number was 1934.

7-9-1999 my part of the queue was finally reached and I ordered the 6Gb model for UKP 946.20 (that DID hurt)

24-9-1999 it was shipped and I received it 1-2 days after. It got serial# 158 and if I remember correctly it was shipped with Beta-6. This unit was sold with an extra sled 11-2000 for DEM 1500. I really loved the Mk1, it felt solid like a brik,

1-8-2000 I placed my order for a shiny new Mk2 12Gb. Paid UKP 707.75 for it (discount price for being Mk1 owner). It arrived arround 24-8-2000. It got serial 380 and carried a modified beta-11 to support ethernet. Until the day it was sold the Mk1 remained in the car, the Mk2 was on my desk. It took a while to get used to the new Mk2 look, honestly I still like the Mk1 "stealth look" better. 4-10-2001 (!) The tuner _finaly_ shipped.

23-12-2001 I ordered a 10Gb Mk2a, because they were sold out I took the 20Gb model with extra remote and paid UKP 253.35 for it. I got it today 7-1-2002 around 8:05. It had serial 3274 and was shipped with 1.02.

I'm not sure if I'll ever sell my Mk2, but if I do it'll be sold to a friend of mine who saved up some money to buy one but has just missed the timeframe to do so...
