I agree that first level characters are more compelling than in 3rd edition (or at least, more of them are; the martial classes almost always had options, but clerics, sorcerers and wizards tended to run out of resources quickly) but folks in my group wonder if those powers are going to get old and boring once you get to higher levels.
I think the homogenization of 4E is going to be a love/hate thing; folks are either going to like having standardized classes differentiated by their roles, or their going to despise it. There doesn't seem to be a lot of middle ground in opinions.
As far as southern Newquists go, that's the first I've heard of them; I know there's a big contingent out in the Midwest, but never in Georgia and Alabama. I haven't done a lot of research into my family tree, but I wouldn't be surprised to find some common ancestors; it's a fairly uncommon name.
