Because they get asked that a thousands of times a day at these shows, trust me. I worked shot show for a MFG this year, and got asked the same question thousands of times. It wears on you after a bit.
Good news though, gent i talked to said 1st batch micros shipped/shipping, american P10 line is shipping, but no news on Bren2/BR. Its going to take a week or so for everything to reach distributors and work its way into the market
