Saying that you see there is much to improve in Tiger, and are trying to do it IS one interesting answer, which gives us alot to look forward to. The other answers too, are of interest, but details are very sparce. So I suppose it's still a question of us waiting, if we can, until we hear good news again. There was a time when you made a mid-term upgrade in playing strength for Tiger 14 (I think), but perhaps you don't wish to do that now, as you don't feel the competition is high enough to need to do that at this point. (as CT15 isn't clearly dominated anyway) And maybe if you would, it might accelerate the competition unnescesarily, whilst what you have out now is still up to par at the top. Anyway, I'm still eagerly awaiting the next upgrade to CT15, as well as the ARM Palm release. I'm intending to get an ARM Palm in June-July (My second Palm).[I probably would have got it already if CT for it was out] I'm hoping that by then, the best ones would already be available (e.g. 400mhz with many add-ons [though I can always search the internet to find out for sure]) AND with good price drops.(And if the price hasn't yet dropped on what's clearly the best, so be it) Anyway, your thoughts and ideas are probably not what you really want to discuss much anyway, EVEN if the ARE interesting. Anyway, I wish you continued success how ever. S.Taylor
