Obviously you feel that the issue does not warrant the
attention it's getting. I do and, apparently, so do some
other subscribers. It needn't consume =your= time, however.
All you have to do is delete all messages with a "Y2K",
"5.0", or "Beta" header. If you're not interested, why read
them?
As for frustrated, you bet!!! I was told that the 5.0 BMI
beta would be sent to me in 2-4 weeks. That was around the
end of January. Last week I was told that it wouldn't be
ready until mid-March. =Today= I was informed that they
would let me know early next week =if= they could give me a
general time frame for its release. In other words, not only
do they not have a working beta for BMI, they can't even
tell me =approximately= when they will. Maybe next week
they'll be able to tell me that it will be ready mid-April
or sometime in May.........then again, maybe they still
won't know. Regardless, this is not exactly encouraging.
If the BMI beta is delayed 2 months (or more), when do you
suppose the final release will ship? When the final release
does ship, how long will it take before it's relatively
bug-free? How will these delays impact the availability of
the Y2K patch? Again, not encouraging and nowhere near the
time frame set forth by Omega. Whatever this is, it isn't
"quite nothing", IMHO.
Best regards,
Jim
