Sure. That's what I meant. If I was in the case again, I would certainly wait for the final product. Had I known that the delivery date was May 1st (if everything goes well, and we don't know yet what will ship at that time), I would probably have not ordered Rybka, especially considering that new versions of Fruit or Shredder are likely to be issued in between. I took the risk. Am not completely fed up with it, because the amount of money is not too huge, and I still hope to get what I paid for (version 1.2 or equivalent). But as I said, I would not do it again. Art. >On February 20, 2006 at 16:02:29, Art Rambo wrote: > >>I don't want to sound too harsh on Vasik.
