That's big of you to admit your fault. Lots of people would try to blindly defend their position to the bitter end.

Anyway, I'm glad to hear the firmware rumor was false, but that leaves me to wonder about two things:

1. Who would start such a rumor to begin with, and for what purpose? fanboys being butthurt over the possibility of *gasp* an emulation machine that may potentially render their beloved original hardware obsolete?
2. Even if there was a firmware issue that would cause a delay, what on earth would lead anyone to assume that means the whole thing is vaporware?
