With the FD setup window opening in less than 72 hours I think it's a
bit late 
to be announcing that the bird will be available; most folks who will be
satellite 
band captains are already pretty much beyond planning and into execution
at 
this point. 

FD is a fine opportunity to spread the word though, and we don't *need*
the bird 
for that.
