Is this a hypothesis presented as fact or do you have inside  
information you're not attributing?

I don't have mine yet (ordered week #2 - they never sent the reminder  
mail they promised), but I've read frequently enough that the  
organization was overwhelmed and really didn't know how to do  
logistics. I will concede they're abysmally poor communicators.

Both seem odd, given the mission and all.

Even my 4-year old daughter who's getting the unit has deemed them  
'rude' for not telling us anything other than the one mail right  
before Christmas.  She tells all her friends she's getting an 'XO'  
and asks me where it is every other day.
