But there is a display offering for that for $39K.... and yet we have a bunch of people whining about the $5K Apple display that exceeds the specs of $39K display?!?! Amateurs. 

The people complaining about the price don't know what a Reference monitor is. They're used by very few companies that for example transfer a movie to Blu-Ray and have to make sure colors are exact. Reference monitors are usually liquid cooled because of the high NITS they can produce. Some can generate up to 4000 or 10,000 nits for short bursts. I don't know of any Reference monitors that sell for $4000. Apple probably only expects to sell a few thousand of them. This is not a display for consumers or even developers.

All well and good but TimeMachine support in the current router is far more important.

It would be nice to see more 35+ people.

And, we're going to say this straight away. We're not big fans of the permanently attached cable. While we're sure Nekteck customer support will deal with this in the case of breakage after a conversation we had with them asking about it, a socketed Thunderbolt 3 connection makes more sense to us from a user perspective.

Perhaps they wanted to prevent complaints from users who mistakenly try to use a USB 3.1 cable rather than a Thunderbolt cable.  That would be a problem, right?

That's a very good point, I hadn't thought of that.

This was the announcement I was hoping for, but the price point is not. I had hoped $899 or $999 for the 128Gb. I can't just drop a grand+ when my 2013 model is humming just fine for my needs. Bummer.

You can always sell your 2013 model to offset the cost of the new one.  It's what I do.  At least Apple laptops have a decent resale value compared to Windows machines.

I've done the same thing for 12 computers starting with the Apple ][ plus. Unlike PC's they hold their value.

Backslash key is missing. Looks like they printed the key cap wrong. It has a closing square bracket ] which makes two of them. Also, it has small return, shift, delete, command keys.
