Thinking and doing are two parts. Lets just see what they do. If I do noit
have the book on my desk (nay one) I do not believe it.
FanPro, though as big here as they are, have too many productlines atm and
that they on each front have problems to get it out on the listed date is an
open secret. Let's simply wait and see. For example, officialy YOTC is
scheduled for the 3rd quartal, but I've heard that they do it for the last
quartal. Germany Source 2 shall be out for the 4th quart, so we'll see
wether or not they change that (a too early suplement is of course better
than a too late one, but nonethelss it undermines the shopkeepers
credibility aka 'But You have said it will notcome prior to Oktober (whine,
high pitched voice)!'
Nonetheless, I am at good hopes here, that they will get up to it and have
regular and good supplements published. Boys over there in the states, keep
up the good work! Thanks in advance.

It's true, have You read the part about the german Tir? Bäh. Annyway, many
minds, differnet attitudes, suits me fine. But I will ramble on for the
purity of the SR univers, this is my holy mission...lol

> They seem to have DidS2 in lektorate (sp?) ATM

See above, more info they do not give atm. Though they're website sometimes
states the actual workphase correctly, it still happens that they do show a
bit of overconfidence atm. We'll see... hum, seems standard for me this
'we'll see...' lol

The thing is that they have good selling product lines ATM, AFAIK. Maybe
some spare money for new layouters and so on... I hope they don't expect do
do the more work with the same amount of people in the office(s)...
