I2: Yes, I could estimate the "live" launch date, and in fact, we have a target date that we are working toward. However, according to the immutable laws of quantum physics and software development, the public posting of a release date invariably triggers a chain reaction which results in the spontaneous evolution of a nasty, gnarly insectoid creature, otherwise known as a BUG! Furthermore, BUGs born in this manner tend to wreak havoc in ways that virtually ensure that the developer ends up missing the aforementioned public release date - thus looking foolish. If you and the other members want a date to look forward to, let's all wait in joyful anticipation of July 14th. Yes, it's Bastille Day for some, but more importantly, it's my birthday. <VBG> In closing, I will tell you that we are working as quickly as possible to incorporate some of the wonderful suggestions that we've received as well as finalizing the infrastructure for a final launch. Meanwhile, I hope you will all continue to send us your thoughts and ideas. Thanks, Bryan
