It's a very sexy machine, and had a great review in Byte(Jun or Jul, I forget).
Unfortunately it's backordered through Feb 91 or so, and according to them
if you want one then you'd better get your order in now. Personally I'm going 
to hang out til next year and see if it's still the best deal around, and
if so make my order in late Jan or early Feb.
