He says, "Something, I don't know. I don't know why people would want one, why look at a computer screen? Is it a soft dim light on it?"
And I say, "There IS no backlight."
To this he looked puzzled.
So -- is this guy making stuff up? Obviously they are selling in Borders around the country as we speak, yes? He needed to be hit with a clue-by-4 at least though, Mr. IsItASoftDimLight.

Was given that story last week. Had to go through two Border before finding one that said what? Nop no hold. Yep will sell you one...
ADDED:
When I got they they ask if I would like to look at it said yes.. So while I looked it over was giving a running commentary on features and function. Had the comment of where is the contras, etc.. After covering feature and some of their why's. I think they were really impressed with it. Sounds typical release something without knowledge of said device... Esp somthing this different.
So when you pick up one try the same. Go over the feature with them. May help sell a few more..
