And another "Amen!" from this corner.

I've seen weekly ads for the--are you ready?--the i5 in a 2-page spread 
of the print version of Computerworld.

There is some real stuff happening. CL updates is another good sign, I 
think.

As to "Malcolm", remember he's got to parlay the company line, but he 
did something. If something were to happen from this, the higher-ups 
would indeed put more marketing to it.
