You miss MY point: I saw Jim Goodnow II at AmiExpo in New York, and HE said (Face to Face) that it would be ready at the end of November. I realize schedules slip, but DON'T make claims when you can't back them up. For Example: I was calling about Manx 3.4b for MONTHS, and was told IT IS NOT READY but found out that it was sitting on somebodies desk... I just don't want to see this get slipped more.
