OK - just to recap and see if I got this straight...

In order to be able to order an Iliad from the US as a non-business person,
one needs to

- leave an email address at the "request info" spot on the Irex website and
- wait for the whole "sales to the US" thing to kick in next week, at which point one will receive an invitation to order.

Is that right? Or do I actually need to pretend that I'm some sort of business representative or programmer? And have an official-looking address?
Yes, I'll cheat and lie and be all-round morally questionable...

'cause I REALLY REALLY REALLY want this thing for my summer vacation ... REALLY.
