    Why did the NYT let a report called 'Walt Mossberg' write newb-level electronics reviews, rather than pushing him in the direction of being a hard hitting, hard drinking, crime-beat reporter with a tolerance for risk and a taste for vigilante justice?

    It seems like such a waste...

    Speaking as a former Nomad owner, your comment is like saying, "Ferrari? Why not a Ford Pinto?"
