- BZZZZZZZZZZT!!
-
- Time out!
-
- I have been watching this thread for several days now and keep wondering
- how much longer it's going to take before someone (anyone) takes the
- "old" V34 Sportster apart, compares it alongside a "new" V34 Sportster
- and makes a rather startling discovery.
-
- Wake up folks. The product has (recently) been redesigned, virtually
- from the ground up. The V34 Sportster on the store shelves today and
- the V34 Sportster we were all reading those glowing reviews about a few
- short months ago, and upon the strength of which some people really do
- base their purchase decisions, are not the same.
-
- The familiar green and off-white/pastel maroon box with red labels looks
- the same, save for a few new stickers emblazoned upon it; the familiar
- green & white labeled "Radio Shack baby intercom-appearing" modem inside
- the cardboard box is virtually indistinguishable from prior units;
- similarities end there.
-
- You figure out the rest.
