It was supposed to be here last week and I was hoping to have a full weekend to do some REAL testing, but the Evil Fargin’ Bastages over at FedEx have completely lost the concept of what “Priority Overnight” means. Hence, The Precious (the official name of the Voodoo-S, if you hadn’t figured that out already) just arrived this morning — ruining what was otherwise intended to be a glorious weekend.
So… without further adieu, some faux toes of My Little Pony:
Upon arrival, a number of other thermals surrounded The Precious while still in his amniotic sac. There was a LOT of butt-sniffing going on.
The Skeets were nervous, almost as if sensing that their years of monopoly may be coming to and end. One Skeet ran and hid behind his Big Brother (UTM-x) and suckled up to Big Momma (hiding behind a black elipse). The other Skeet was much more inquisitive, but was a little skittish.
Side-by-side, The Precious is both larger and heavier than Skeet, as you can clearly see, even though the Skeet-X has been around for about 7-8 years now and is based upon older 17um technology, whereas The Precious is built around the latest-generation 12um Military Series sensor. That said, The Precious packs a whole suite of MILnet tech inside that Skeet lacks entirely. Most of that tech will never be used by the CIV market but, like Prego Spaghetti Sauce, it’s in there.
While both units clearly share the same Oasys DNA, and fulfill a similar mission envelope, there are considerable differences — some where Skeet is the clear winner and others where The Precious drops the hammer.
Those differences, and many more faux toes, coming soon!!!
