Fine. That's the same problem Jim Drew had. Unwillingness to hire people
to do the "menial" tasks so that it will FREE him to do what he does BEST:
get to programming that next version! Have we had an upgrade recently?
On a side note, is the rumor that Steve is negotiating the sale of
Forge/Essence to NewTek TRUE? Perhaps he is in the process of transferring
his operation to NewTek at this moment and that's why he's been so busy?
Lack of actual news from "the horse's mouth" makes people imaginitive...:)
