Well, we now have these neat slick glossy graphic nice brochures about these machines...unfortunately, they're very long on marketing hype and buzz phrases, and very-stupid-looking pictures of people using computers with no clutter whatsoever on their pristine white desks, and very short on substance...could we please shoot all the marketing people, eh?
