A number of factors[1] contributed to this, but:

[1] Those issues primarily include Apple kicking free software people squa’ in the nuts, and finding a better spec’d Thinkpad. I wish I didn’t feel so sad.
Tis for the good. I’m just surprised how that article slipped under your radar :-/
When was that article even written? It was linked-to only like a few days ago on slashdot. It couldn’t be that old that it was common knowledge and I just wasn’t aware.
It’s probably for the good, but it means a reset on my few-week wait period. Plus now I have nothing in common with that one hot woman I’ve always wanted to talk to in the coffee shop.
So I can mourn.
