I called TML Systems on Friday (May 27th) to ask where my upgrade
was.  They said that they had actually begun shipping on May 13th but
then discovered a problem with the AppleShare package.  Consequently,
they stopped shipping until they could fix the problem.  They claim
to be shipping again (how many times have I heard that before?).  I
told them that I was extremely frustrated by their vaporware
announcements and said that I thought that they did themselves more
damage than good with their grossly optimistic availability dates.  I
hope that others will also express their displeasure.
