Yes indeed. Haven't a clue what's going on with Unobtainium II
(benchmark-tweaking, mayhap?) but if it isn't out by May 29, the first
anniversary of the Unobtainium I platform launch, people who aren't
questioning the whereabouts of the promised processor may begin to wonder.

A significant delay beyond, say, midyear, would have an interesting effect
on some of the adoption rate charts that have been bandied about. ;-}

EV7 systems are shipping today, albeit to a very limited number of field
test/early adopter sites. Small Marvel configs could ship before the end
of the year as the last Marvel customer prebrief is slated for November.
