Donald I am sorry you have grievances and that's unfortunate about the 
budget crunch.

My feeling is yeah they kind of screwed up communications-wise. But 
during that initial period of time after the new licensing 
announcement, Geoff Canyon was pretty active on this list, kind of 
fielding questions and assuaging peoples concerns. So I don't think 
anybody got it by "divine absorption" :-)

re: Patience. This is kind of deja vu for me because I was saying the 
very same thing as you, but on the realbasic mailing list, 18 months 
ago. I totally quit using realbasic. Now I'm here and I'm just being 
patient and I am really optimistic about RR. Still glad I switched. 
However, the grass is always greener...
