I know howe to do it with rebel 9 and it seems to be something similar. Nevertheless, this is for me almost a matter of principles: I want best programmers go to windows...Lang did, Mayer-Kalhn did, Amir did, Kittinger did, Ed will do it, Marty should do it, etc. So, no rebel 10 for me until year 2000.
