Same question for me, and about another one too: =E2=80=9C and Jean Ichbiah did an excellent job of presenting its features in a way that the reviewers could understand and appreciate. Although there were flashes of brilliance in the other designs, none of them achieved the polish and maturity of the Green design. =E2=80=9D Would like to know about these =E2=80=9Cflashes of brilliance=E2=80=9D.
