But thats nonsense FCA. Upgrades / updates by richard were often NO SOFTWARE progress. Remember all the dedicated machine time, this was only hardware- and also genius times. There was almost no progress anyway ! How can you relate this with rebel8--->rebel9 , or rebel7--->8 ?! If you would have said rebel6--->7 I would confirm. YOu forget the history of Richards programs. There was often almost NO progress at all. Genius3---> genius4. Genius4--->5 . Genius 1--->2. etc. Portorosz, almeria, maybe vancouver was a progress. Amsterdam to dallas. Almost nothing. > That is why there is a delay.

I see all tribes are reunited ! Thats the best one can imagine. A big enemy all others fight against :-))) Good to hear !
