Got mine last week, been holding on to these sets of blanks for 7+ years waiting for this board to come out. 
Thundering gherkins, has it really been that long?
Admittedly, I haven't followed this, er, saga very closely, but I suppose it
did drag on for a bit, didn't it? It seemed as though every time I dropped by for a quick glimpse of GH, someone would mention the Unicomp SSK in passing. However, Unicomp never appeared to be moving any closer to an actual ship date.
After all that palaver, its actual appearance is almost unreal. Has anyone checked the temperature lately in certain nether regions?
Perhaps I am alone in this, but: after seeing
actual photographs (!), I think I now know how people feel after they have spotted a unicorn: a peculiar mixture of amazement and delight coupled with a faint-but-lingering feeling of disappointment because, well, now you
have seen it, haven't you, and you realise only belatedly that the anticipation was half the fun.
Of course, the ultimate proof would be to actually clutch one of these in one's calloused, dirt-streaked hands, eh? After a delay of nearly a decade-and-a-half, I feel almost duty-bound to buy one.
