Nope.
Two old LA's are already positioned to become new MTS's. Don't need a third.
This is a big shame. I can't wait for the safety bulletins to come out after this.

Unless you multiply it by its complex conjugate - then shit gets real**.

I'm sure prices will drop soon.
It's like after music CDs were introduced that cost a whole 12-13 dollars each. But that was only because manufacturing plants were scarce and demand was low. Once production ramped up and demand increased then prices naturally went
Oh bother.
Hopefully at the same press conference they'll announce a service pack to fix the buggy abomination known as iOS 4 (although knowing Apple they'll make you pay for it).
I made the mistake of "upgrading" my iPod Touch to 4 and now it won't work through the USB port on my car stereo. Google "ios 4 car stereo problems" and you'll see a huge Apple thread with people posting about this.
I like my iPod Touch (as close as I'll ever get to an iPhone).
To give you an example of what I'm talking about here, I read Oliver Sachs excellent memoir "Uncle Tungsten" where he recounts his childhood discovery and fascination with chemistry and science in general. He talk about going down to a local store in London around the WWII era and buying sodium, phosphorus, and I think even uranium ore. Then he goes home and experiments and mixes and burns and almost blows his house up in the process - yet he learns a lot and does it mostly on his own using his own creativity.
Nowadays if you build a little rocket in your backyard and set it off, you're liable to get a visit from Homeland Security and be branded a potential terrorist.
I'm not against security, but at what cost?
This is yet another example of the dangers inherent in over-parenting. "Don't climb that tree!" "Don't find out what dirt tastes like!" "Don't take the toy apart!"
This naturally evolves into the adult version. "Don't take pictures of that bridge!" "Don't try to find out what's behind that wall!" "Don't question anything your leaders tell you!"
It's all part of the plan.
Eddie Izzard was right!
Funny you should mention that. The old style lead-acid batteries are being swapped out now for new style lead-acid batteries (valve-regulated). I think it was a matter of the old supplier no longer making them.
