Hmm. I thought XBox was due today, and the original date on the
GameCube was the 18th. (Nintendo told retailers to start selling them
as soon as they get in, so they may actually be on the shelves this week).

Probably a good idea. The specs are impressive, and it looks like it
won't take much to outwith the bootloader and turn it intoa $300 Linux
network station *grin*. It's that x86 archetecture inside, as well as
my gut feeling that the bootloader is on the hard drive, and not in
ROM like on other consoles...
