We are waiting for the other shoe to drop.

Honestly, I kept reading Ron's emai and blog, and Mike P's email, waiting
for the punch line at the end.

HP's extension of the drop-dead date is very welcome indeed. It's not a
cause to celebrate because it's just postponing the inevitable, but it does
lessen the sting somewhat. We're grateful HP has thrown us this bone. We
still loathe them for killing the platform in the first place.
