I hope that this is not the ONLY form that they are going to release it in!? But I gotta laugh at it. Typical pure marketing geewiz strategy. Someone walked in and sold the marketing types that this was the way of the future. (By the way I think that hype(r)text is useful, just not for all things/or people) And they bought it hook line and sinker. But what they ended up with is just the lead poisoning from the sinker. Ah well, tis the zen of marketing at its best.
