Lack of countdown didn't bug me too much. What DID irk me was the fact that the baby blue faceplate and handle weren't available. The handle especially; it looked so ... Macintosh. I figured we'd see orange, red, amber and green too -- and that it was only a matter of time until the Empeg was re-designed in a nearly clear plastic.

Seriously. I mean it.
