This came through my inbox today:

This is just vapourware at the moment, so I'm not suggesting anyone
change plans.

It's a reminder that the hardware market is still evolving at a fair clip.

Making any technology purchase decision always has to be made on the
basis: "what price & parts can I get delivered *today*"

If you don't have to get something Right Now, it's a good strategy to
ride Moore's Law and wait as long as you can.

I've wasted a bunch of money over the years. This is an expensive lesson
I'm passing on :-)
