Boooo!, my favorite telescope that can watch the dawn of everything and spot little green men is delayed because of weather!.

Maybe even worse... now have to worry about possible collision with flying reindeer.

26 minutes until NASA and Apples 'Power PC' iMac telescope launch, the tension is... unbearable.

Doctor Z, I kid you not, is really excited with the approach of launch.

The case for this particular iMac, had to be heavily modified to fit my favorite telescope, some of us here are familiar with such experiences!.
