George,

>Now throw into the mix that Randy can't really say much of anything at all. I mean he's working under an NDA. So even if he they were, he couldn't just come out and say so. So his statement has to be taken with a rather large grain of salt.

What I'm talking about is a lifting of NDA and some clearer announcements of new features. Maybe that will come at New Orleans.

Maybe some of the bones they have for us are the kind that will make us choke and gag :-)

I suspect that *whatever* feature set is eventually annouced will spark a new round of grumbling -- still it would be nice to know.
