Seriously though Colonel it will be worth the wait and as Mark says A lot of spand owners myself included go around with silly grins on our faces and I use two of them Ay equipped in my recording studio as proper instruments along side the more traditional stuff.
When you get your spand there are a couple useful pieces of software to accompany it.
1) Tape scrape. A useful way of saving taped files to the memory card.

2) Zxpand commander. a file handling system which I for one cannot do without.
