The Cool-er is 'new'. It's in 'HoT CoLoRs'. It's available right now!

Woooo, Must Buy The New Thing! Must Buy The Cool Thing! It has COOL in the title, it MUST be COOLl!!

If you hadn't come out a couple months early and let us know what was in the works, then many of us would have already purchased the COOL-er, not knowing that something better was just around the corner.

Taking the fact that the new PPro is still a few more weeks out, and the Cool-er is out now, people really hate to wait. If you had JUST NOW come out with the advanced knowledge of the PPro, or perhaps just a couple weeks before release, then yes, this thread would be filled with people in anticipation. Just as it had been in the early days of this thread.

People are still waiting for its release. Once released, this thread will again be filled with new owners lauding the praises of the PPro, or voicing complaints about it.

In the meantime, the other thread is doing that now.
