So, you admit that you bailed on the NiftySpell beta-test, and so now I
know who to blame for all those headaches I had ;-)

That was the toughest 6 months I think I ever had. And, then one day, it
all came together, and it worked!! But, the lesson I learned: Do not ever
conduct a beta-test with just one beta-tester! Ever. Oh well; at least I
can laugh about it now!

There's been so many different versions, I can't keep it straight anymore. 
All I really know for sure is what the current versions are. But, I did
see some info on my own site (that I even wrote myself) that says
something about Spectrum 2.2 and Marinetti, so yeah, you're probably
right.

Hmmm. It's been a while since I last update the SAM pages, and I just saw
v1.7 there.

Hey, Jeff, I'll make ya a deal. I'll sort out the latest update to SAM and
you sort out the old version numbers. OK? 

LOL
