- Let's put that into perspective, shall we?
-
- The Falcon COULD BE "exciting" if only the Shot-In-The-Foot guys can
- actually get it on the market before its "leading edge" claim becomes
- old news...
-
- I'm betting even Sam "We're talking about a machine that will be
- available next week" Tramiel won't hold his breath until they're
- available here in the U.S. (But I'd sure LIKE TO SEE HIM DO IT!)
-
- The Falcon rollout would make a great title to a movie sequel:
- Falcon: The Debacle Contiues.
