Just three days after arrival (only 3 and a half weeks since ordered, not the One To Four Months they scared me with ;-) it's been a kind of portable multitouch sensation, hardly played home, mostly at bars with stunned people laughing hard (included me) at my "retrofuturistic performance" (you know, playing retro style BeatleHendrixBowie with 21st century hardware, oh, yes, 21st Century Schizoid Man ;-) attracting everyone interest and curiosity, simply saying......SENSATIONAL!!!
