I may have sounded overly critical in what I wrote: don't get me wrong,
it blows me AWAY that it is at all possible to do all these things on
this machine. That and having the sexiest form-factor out there... how

In retrospect, I suppose I was caught somewhat unaware by the fact that

realize this beforehand.
