Looks OK.

Now my problem is actually buying the thing. Only one local retailer I
know turned up in search, but CloudFlare thinks I'm a bot and wont let me
access that web site, and they don't have an actual shop nearby. Crazy
thing is that CloudFlare is happy to let me access other sites.

So I might end up buying it through Amazon (eww), and waiting longer for
it to arrive. So much for my plan to pop out tomorrow and buy one.
