> My question is simple: WHEN?
we have three alpha testers now two of us owners and one other guy at this
time as it has been for months now. we will extend this to several others
(about a dozen) starting first of next week. within two weeks we plan to
move to beta and have 25 to 50 serious testers on the system. we have some
win 98 issues to fix but it works perfectly on NT as it was developed on NT.
other than that we are waiting on a satellite dish and a frame relay line to
be installed. we are hacking around right now in private with the feed on a
cable modem as the primary feed output. this satellite problem has set us
two weeks behind. we plan to release to by mid year though still.

my desire to do this is the same as yours, and i have the same questions as
you do. and i want the same answers that you do. we are in uncharted
territory and we are doing the very fastest job we can. i need the platform
too.

their website with nothing even mentioned in terms of a delivery date.
i can not control what those other software vendors did. i was probably more
of a victim of the same lies as you were, at least you didnt go to Utah
chasing after the dream. we did not start this project untill 11-10-99, i
doubt that others could have worked this fast.
> So traderware, you can see why my big question is when.
> Now, for everyone's enlightenment, what's the answer?
my goal is mid year that's what i'll stick to as my commitment. i can not
promise we will make it (it may be earlier) but we will bust our ass trying.
during the mean time i will allow the beta testers to post their comments of
our progress, and how responsive we are in fixing problems. who else will do
this? i just ask that they do not give away all the details of some of the
other features i have held back on, because i wish for there to be some
surprises. mb
