My information comes from a set of flyers which was mailed to me by Martin
Waldron of JPI.  The flyers were sent to individuals who participated in the
Beta testing process for TopSpeed 3.0.  The reason the flyers were sent was
twofold:
  1. So we could spread the word about how great the TopSpeed product is.
  2. So we would know just what information could be made public prior to 
     the official release date.

I will be happy to address questions regarding release 3.0 of TopSpeed
which do not violate the nondisclosure agreement I signed.
