 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?

Lets give up now with this cumbersome Y2000 problem.
The answer has been posted here by Omega , so let's see what happens.
I do not undersand the interset to ask 100 times tyhe sae question and make
the same guess about ."what if they do not keep their promises".

 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,

You seems to forget that a getting beta is not an obligation that Omega may
keep for sure.
They do it when they can, when they want, when they estimate that i

Getting a beta in time is is not a right .
As the beta has just been launched, it is too early to guess what will be the
definitive date.
