I am concerned in that I have yet to receive a request for RPMs of the beta. In previous release cycles, those requests have come hot and heavy shortly after the beta announcements. Unless the interest in RPM has drastically reduced in the last couple of months, my gut feel is that our beta1 has had very little exposure outside this list -- and the netizens of this list aren't typically RPM addicts. I have not had time in the past couple of weeks to do much with them, though. Looking for a break in the action this week, hopefully. I would, however, guard against rushing a release -- we _do_ have a 'solid release' reputation to protect. -- Lamar Owen WGCR Internet Radio 1 Peter 4:11
