If not,  maybe I'll have to get more than one.  

That's not bad,  though I'm rather reluctant to play the rebate game.  The
last time I did I got jerked around with stores not having what they were
advertising (they'd "sold out".  Right.),  and did the mail-in
rebate,  and it took *way* longer than it should have to get here.  One of
them,  anyhow,  for the other one I'm still waiting...
