Well, if nothing else, the reason for the delay is clear enough: they want to make sure it works very well. And given the fire they've recieved over the last year or so, they aren't going to let anyone know what's in it until they just gotta do it. They know they won't make everyone happy -- heckfire, look at the list above and note how much of it is incompatible with the price point we're talking here. 300 bucks ain't chicken feed, but it's a damn site better than 1000 -- but they are trying to get fixd some things that are important to them -- doubly important since this is supposed to be the last SR. lol -- not sure ms project is the system I'd want to use for software folks, lol, but the point is very well made. And it's not a new development -- been that way in computer software for the last 15 years. That's not merely a practice -- that's simply how it's done. Gettin one's hopes up isn't something someone else does, btw... ;-) (huggs, hon -- mine are up there too)

thou and I, my friend, can, in the most flunkey world, make, each of us, one non-flunkey, one hero, if we like: that will be two heroes to begin with. (Carlyle)
