Until there is a firm release date and guaranteed shipping is less than 2 weeks you can't really believe anything from anyone. That is just a key rule of project management. Release dates slip but once they are inside the 2 week window you can pretty well count on it leaving the door. For hardware 2 weeks means it has already left Asia for the US. Boats aren't quick :P Personally, I don't believe it till I have it on my desk.

That's from august 2008. I too will believe it when I see it and not a moment sooner. -- Peter _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/ _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
