<BIG SIGNATURE SNIPPED> Actually, EVERY release date given to us voltures here at r.a.s, is an OVERESTIMATED date. Just sometimes bugs are found in the programs, and it slips PAST the date, and then the designers try NOT to overestimate again (that'll get people angry), and 1 release date slips by, then another, then another and before you know it the program is vaporware (BC3K springs to mind, the 7 YEARS overestimated release date was supposed to be september. Well, its not anymore) -- Macarena, hiphop,rap,soul,rythem,disco,pop,dance,trance,rave,techno) / \ --------------------------------All SUCK-------------------------- Smashing pumpkins RULE! Roey
