The best laid plans, and all that...
 
I'd intended to hire costumed phallanxes of trumpeteers to assist me in
making an announcement. I'd thought of bringing dancing girls to a Monday
night Delphi chat, and passing out virtual glasses of champagne. I've
been in touch with the Russian Space Agency to inquire about Mir
displaying a flashing billboard from outer space. Heck; I even contacted
the Gore/Bush campaign offices to see if I could get one of them to make
the announcement during an upcoming Presidential debate.
 
But, alas, the wind has been taken out of my sails. My bubble has been
burst. The high drama planned for an 'earth shaking announcement' has been
subverted.
 
Gosh! Can't anyone keep a secret any more?
 
Well, once the genie is out of the bottle, it's impossible to stuff him
back in there. And, believe me, I tried.
 
So, with zero fanfare, no dancing girls, no virtual champagne, no rockets,
and no presidential pronouncements...

However...and I probably don't really have to remind folks here on csa2,
but...don't believe everything you read on the net. What you read
there will come true in a week or two, but it isn't true today. In other
words, I was caught completely off-guard by the slightly premature
announcement and a few more details still need to be worked out.
 
So, as "they" say on TV...stay tuned for details. Keep in mind, however,
that just like fine wine, no software will ship before its time.
