Meanwhile, tucked away in an off topic Register article, a hint of more trouble ahead for little Mikey, long the most faithful of Wintel disciples:

Sony was forced to admit that while it took 380,000 orders over the Net, only 120,000 customers - less than one third of the total -received their console. The reason: we're ten days behind schedule on production, Sony confessed to Reuters, thanks to a shortage of memory cards. (from theregister.co.uk

And what kind of memory cards might be required there? Mikey won't have to fill his Rambus slots on those gigamine boxes for awhile, so I guess it will all work out for the best. Anyway, I'm sure Mikey would be really, really happy to be a mere 10 days behind schedule on production in certain PC categories.

Cheers, Dan.
