Sure, that's a good idea. I'll keep writing sections of the review and
posting them as time permits.

A local electronics chain, Fry's, had some in stock for what they called
the "west coast premiere" last weekend. A local Radio Shack told me that
they were supposed to get the first Tandy units in this weekend. I suspect
that within a few weeks, they'll be pretty widely available.
Now if anyone finds some _accessories_ out there, please post a message.
The Zoomer is fun to play with, but I need a serial cable in order to get
data in and out.
