Nice job of betting your passionate conviction. I really thought by 
having the number above even the most bullish professional analysts – 
one of whom (unquoted by Gruber) had predicted about 13 million through 
mid-2011 – I was safe.

Still, I love the iPad and am happy to be wrong.

And, let this be an example to those often making 
gloomy-but-untestable-and-unbacked predictions (cough, *Beberg*, cough) 
– it's not really hard or painful to get tangible on the record.
