RE <<<So, what would be an exact translation of "not yet"
from diplomatic language to a regular English?>>>

"Not yet" as in:

"Not yet, because the big boss has not approved it; however, we are ready and able to go with it in a moment's notice. In fact, my kid wants one for X-mas"

In other words it's going to happen but not today ;~)

Ali,

Re: "So, what would be an exact translation of "not yet" from diplomatic
language to a regular English?"

Ali, I would be "happy" to give you English lessons in addition to
your normal "technical lesson". <ggg> In "diplomatic language",
"Not Yet" translates into two different meanings:

1) Not Yet = "I have been screwed by you before on the K5 and K6. I will NEVER
buy your HYPE again".

2) Not Yet = "Soon - Wait til next quarter".

Hope this helps, Ali.

Make It So,
Yousef
