Thanks Ed.

I twittered scoping this ACM page in advance of your comment, which
then appeared for analysis.

Nice one.

I think you're right on the "too early to tell" plus it's really
interesting how, when I flash my XOs around town, you'll get these
angry faces when I mentioned you can't just go to the neighborhood
retail outlet and get one, at any price.

It's that "any price" that sticks in the craw for some, as there's
this sense of entitlement many have, especially if carrying Visa.

The XO-2 may be even harder to get, maybe Taliban only, not sure yet. :)
