wow congratulations. i'd love to be in that position, but i'd be focusing
on my presentation too!

a beta that points me in the right direction would be great. even if it's
lame and unfeatured and tough to build, because i have *time* now to poke
at it and help with it. if i wait for a full featured release, then it
will be too late for the deliverable that a third party seems to be
commiting me too :-)

tnx again!
