I would say that I agree with Ken Ray's comments above. In general we 
we were very happy with the review in MacUser, while 5 out 5 would have 
been nice, 4.5 in our book is a pretty good score. Also given Keith 
Martin's expertise I'd say 4.5 is an even better score!

We've got more reviews due soon and so far MacUser and Computer World 
(New Zealand) have been very positive, and everyone here at Runtime is 
smiling!

In relation to comments regarding reviewers, it has been noted that a 
few magazines simply do not have reviewers who are experienced enough 
to examine developer tools. However in virtually every case these 
magazines have said so at the outset and have declined the invitation.  
In other cases they have hired freelancers with experience of developer 
tools  and (where possible) of Revolution (or other xTalk environments).

Anyway we'll be making more announcements regarding press coverage over 
the coming months. As ever people are welcome to email me if they wish 
to discuss the matter further.

Best,

Rod
