You mean they aren't sending the board first??  Seems pretty mean to
make you do without a main board while the thing's in the mail. . .

BTW, if indeed the new machines are announced on the 18th, does this
mean that the upgrade board is available then- or even that the new
machines will ship then??  I have the impression that Moto is still
in the sampling stage on the '040. . . Somebody have more definite
information on this?
