Release Nothing Untill They Are Both Done.</FONT></DIV>

is completely disheartening and unprofessional for a company. When a
deadline is set, it needs to be met! If I would have known this, I would
not have had my clan of 200 members upgrade to the new version.

take in for the tech support line and did not meet the standards that I
set forth, that would be one less contract that my company
