I think Tony et al. is offering a great deal - I want a display and I want
it now, but I don't want a 320x240 grayscale. Being able to "lease" an M1
for 6-12 months until a M2 comes out and I can buy that seems like a great
deal to me. I just can't see hacking a camcorder as another viable option,
and it seems that the Sony NTSC Glasstron for some reason is not considered
a good wearable display. (I myself haven't tried it). I don't think
bashing Tony is appropriate here, because, although the wording was a bit
"off," the intention was clear.
Come on guys - there's got to be SOME alternative to the M1 available out
there SOMEWHERE. We just have to look hard enough.
