I for one am very glad you decided it was worth it - I've had stacks of fun with mine so far and they are a serious talking point with my (mainly techy) friends.
I'm just sorry SB decided not to market it properly. It was maybe a slow starter, and most of the old timers on the BBS were definitely early adopters, but the market is growing fast now.
Would be nice for SB to resurrect the rio, but I guess they don't need to now, with the rest of their product line.
