You bet it's strange!  Last thing I heard too was that all these units
went to /dev/landfill at the end of the employee sale.  I am surprised
yet again to see another point of sale other than Jameco.

I'm not a marketing type, so I just don't understand the failure to
sell these things, but as a I-hate-ringing-phones type, I get the biggest
charge out of NOT hearing about aluminum siding, water softeners, roto
tillers or the policeman's ball anymore.

It is truly a joy to hear my phone ring and know that I will know
exactly who it is without uttering a word.   Ahhhhhhh, the peace.
