Nope, it just ain't so.  I have seen RR 11.0 (Scott demoed it to the local
user's group).  Throughput has been greatly improved, but that isn't saying
much compared to 10.3.

A friend ran ProComm+ under SoftPC (on a Mac IIcx) and timed it against RR 11.0
on the same IIcx (w/ and w/o multifinder, ProComm=/SoftPC ran w/MultiFinder),
and RR 11.0 was either slower or the same speed as ProComm/SoftPC.

The brain-damaged user-interface in 10.3 has become even more brain-damaged;
all but a few menu-items are hierarchial.  Even command-strokes are
hierarchial; cmd-s, cmd-l to open a settings file (Settings Load).  It works,
and really isn't that bad, but the way scott implemented it, once you hit
the first command key, the next command key hit (no matter if it is
immediately following or 20 hours later) is interpreted as the sencond
commmand stroke-- very confusing at times).  The phone-book is still
like the old one, only the door doesn't 'pop' open.

The scripting language has NOT been improved; path names are still hard-
coded and still have the x character limit.  Want to lock up 11.0?  Just
move the folder that contains your script files and then select a user
created menu item that tries to execute one of those scripts-- Red goes
into an infinite loop of trying to execute a moved file.

And it doesn't end there....

I am waiting to so MicroPhone II ver3.0 before I am jumping on the
'Red is the end-all of Mac telecommunications' bandwagon...
