Well we've mentioned this three or four times on this list. The bottom 
line is that these people have yet to show anyone a working prototype. 
Lots of mock-ups, but no kit.

They first promised to show working prototype in Spring 1998, and ship in 
the Summer of that year. The 'real thing' always seems to be months away.
