Hi Mitch and Steve,
I understand better now thank you extremely much. And thank you for
taking the time it took you to respond to my question. That's great!
Maybe it's the anticipation and the buildup that Steve Jobs is so good
at that makes some people believe in more than what's possible in such
a tiny package. Waiting for it to get here however is kind of like
listening to a great Country song, and having to wait too long for the
three pickup notes into the four chord (the chorus)*
(*a musc analogy)
