This is really disappointing. I've been thinking about buying the dev kit for the last couple of weeks, I guess this news has made the decision for me :(


I like the term 'sabbatical' although it does sound very academic.


When I was 20 and studying at university I worked during my summer break at a small company. We went on holiday for a couple of weeks over Christmas but just after Christmas Day I got a call from my manager telling me that one of the guys in my team was killed in a car accident and his wife badly injured.

I went to the funeral which was heartbreaking, the place was never really the same again without him. I still think about him every now and then, even though that was more than 10 years ago now.


This game makes me realise that I don't do 'proper' touch typing - I use some other system that relies on muscle memory to find the keys, I don't look at the keyboard. One unusual thing I seem to do though is that I never use my pinky fingers, only the other eight - am I alone?


Why not just provide multiple formats?


Loved this piece, I haven't been in that position, but I could feel the pain.
