Ever read IBM and Microsoft press releases from the mid 1980s?  :-)

Isn't that where they got the term "vaporware"?  Some of the announced
gonna-be-a-products-real-soon barely made any technical sense.

There is a precidence for clueless consumers.  In fact I think its
approximately the same herd of lemmings.
