Very nice, but clearly I have some things to learn about how to use it--perhaps I can figure out how to get a dev vm or something...Hmm.

The bad news is of course that they are sold out and do not have a specific availability date. She thought they would get some more this coming week, but she recommended putting your name on a waiting list. However, I've tentatively decided that saving $90+ going through Amazon ($40 lower price, $50 rebate, plus tax, plus another $20 or so getting into NYC) is worth waiting. I may change my mind in a few weeks if Amazon is still saying delivery post-Christmas.
