    They are on back order....


    What else do you expect us to do with our time? .... surely an investment in being able to travel back to the future is worthy of a little bit of HEXUS time.. ?

    Well it must not work well if they're on back order

    If they worked, they'd go into the future where production of these was ramped up, aquire a load to fill up the car and then travel back to sell them

    "gigawatt", pronounced badly

    in answer to the question.

    and it's a lot. our supercomputing facilty has one megawatt (i.e. 0.001 GW) at its disposal.

    Well quite frankly, yes

    joking, obviously

    Some type of USB connection to it would have been good. Everyone know USB gadgets are cool

    Does it not even make any sounds?

    I do think £100 for a box with some flashing LEDs inside is pushing the limits as far as ripping off fans goes!

    For £90 I expected it to do something more than look pretty-ish. Beep or something.
