The exact quote was <egrep, mush, shuffle, etc>

Here we are, 5 months later. I am still trying to get the details finalized.
Three weeks ago, I thought I was one day from signing the papers. Then some
problems came up. Sigh. *nothing* is ever as simple as you think it is.

I tend not to tell you <the group> about things until they are done, or
at least at a point such that I can commit times and dates. It prevents
frustration on your behalf, and on mine.

So, the official statement: We are working on more than one UNIX solution.
No promises. I will, as always, let you know what these will be. They will
not impact any of the other efforts in progress.

BTW - all boards from this run have been shipped to those that have ordered
them. We have (I think) 1 board left over at this point. We now have over
100 PCB's out! I never thought that there would be so much interest!  Thanks
to all of you, and we look forward to some interesting projects in the next
few months...
