As a short term investment in a radio it may not be bad value but in
this fast changing market that has not yet had any of the big 4 players
make a move the resale value in 5 years may be rather lower than you
would expect for a conventional radio - think of the value of a 2002
computer with a then state of the art sound card.

You know I can hardly wait to lay hands on the darn thing; and, you know
it will live with me for a day and, THEN, I will have the case off it.

You did see the sentence which acknowledges it has an ITX board in it (a
miniature motherboard!) In effect, I am just buying a computer which
knows how to be a radio ...

I tell you, I think it is enough. I do believe I will be happy with it.
It is NOT like buying gold, I know it has a life expectancy and one
day that will be $0.01 USD.

Still, I will be happy for a bit ... as I said, you mileage may vary. I
walked into this deal with my eyes wide open ...

Warm regards,
