Note - we are not media savvy! I used to be a mass media guy, and
talking with friends who are experts in the field, their advise was
clear: make a lot of noise on the launch date, or a few days earlier.

Making noise too early about gear people can't buy straight away is
not a good move.

OTOH, it is a good time to be organising a big splash for the 17th of
Nov, talk to SJ and friends about it.
