oh, by the way, i think it's hilarious that the web echo-chamber
has announced to itself that this thing will debut "this spring"...
by my calendar, spring is 1/3 sprung already, and i haven't heard
one word of this from amazon itself. have you? i didn't think so.
is it really our opinion the p.r. department for the world's biggest
bookstore has been struck deaf-dumb-and-blind? no sir, children.
i can't say for sure, because i am not them, but if i _were_ them,
i'd announce this along about june and have 'em available september
for positive reviews aimed at the year-end holiday gift-giving season,
when conspicuous consumption is the order of the day, doncha know?

p.s. the atari-beige one is the $400 model. white shiny one goes $500.
