you never know.. i saw it on 22nd - i only looked for it then cause
i heard about it a few days earlier.. it may have been around before.

i have not signed the NDA's - so i guess me obtaining them does
not break any agreements.. :)

information is important to the developers.. not anyone else.
do you know how nice it would have been to get information about 3.3
before 3com released it? i did not hear anything until it was released.
it would have been curteous to send an email to all the developers
telling them of some possible problems.
i guess you have not seen the 3.3 incompatability list.. luckily,
my programs have not been affected.. but many many others have
:((
the same deal happened with the IIIe.. we were the last to know.
not good at all :(
