Let me see if I understand this discussion correctly: an unnamed MS spokesperson said, on an unspecified date, before an unspecified audience, something that MS took exception to and it is alleged that MS issued a press release retraction "within seconds".
Wow. That certainly is news to me. And, if it had not been for this reflector I might not have known about it, waiting 5 weeks for this insight makes it all worthwhile. Now, could we have some news about when Dxbase 2010 will be released? Larry W4RA > -----Original Message----- > From: Carl J.
