Of course I want everyone to love Chumby as much as we do (if they only knew how hard we're working and how passionate we are about making this great!), but totally not worried about any of the quibbles in the press -- just delighted to be getting the awareness and buzz.  And, for the most part, all the press we've received is generally pretty positive.  I mean how many new devices even make the cut at all and get reviewed by this many major news outlets?  Our biggest challenge isn't some reporter with a grumble or two -- it's even having most mainstream people know we exist.  So pretty happy overall with the press response -- and some really good articles still to come that should be strongly positive, so stay tuned :^)

I agree that most people who haven't experienced a chumby or who haven't taken the time to grasp why we're different and where we're headed are going to be sort of puzzled -- there have been plenty of skeptics from the beginning.  We're not going to appeal to everyone right out of the chute but they'll get it eventually.  Chumby just keeps getting better, so time is on our side.  Remember that many people rode horses for a long time after cars were invented :^)

oh i should have added that i was on a business trip to *san diego* of all places.  Saw the USA Today article [someone left it on a chair] in Terminal 1 of the San Diego airport.  my lucky day
