Maybe now people will see why Omega as well as other software companies are
reluctant to release any information on upcoming versions of software -- It
just opens them up to the type of bashing and criticism that you're seeing
here --  Why bother? -- I'm sure they have better things to do with their
time and resources.
    
And, last time I checked the calendar, there is still over 4 months
remaining before the end of Q2, so why are people hyper-ventilating at this
early date?  I've never known any software company in the history of
computing to meet a projected release date-- not Microsoft, IBM, Intuit,
etc.-- so, why would anyone expect Omega to do what nobody else has been
able to?
      
Why not relax for a while and pay attention to trading...
