It seemed like all the other TidBITS staffers were getting them, so Joe Kissell and his wife wanted one too. On May 20, more than three weeks ahead of schedule, their long-awaited new product was delivered in Paris. Featuring a multi-touch surface, high-resolution video input, a fingerprint-resistant anti-glare finish, a 3D position sensor, wireless networking, and a (somewhat unreliable) sleep mode, this hardware-software combo has been providing them hours of entertainment and education. Frustratingly, it came without any documentation, and they've been unable to locate a mute button, but the developer promised that future upgrades will include face recognition, speech synthesis, and a power source that can last more than two hours between charges. The user interface will also be localized in French and English!

Thanks for the giggle. Let me know if you find that mute button. :-)
You have to watch for the multi-touch output function; there are special clothes (purchased separately) to help with that.
Cute ;)
Best wishes with your new 'bundle of joy'!
(And for WIW, I note there is no such thing as the 'terrible twos' -- I called them the 'terrific twos' -- and they were! 'course, that's still a ways off for you. ;)

It's the best upgrade ever, and you'll wonder how you ever survived without one (or two!). You're also likely to wonder what you used to do with all that time and energy.
Congrats!
