Thank you for the all your effort & hard work to get Racket-on-Chez this far.

This week, I've gone over to using the Racket-on-Chez snapshots exclusively. 
They are stable & fast enough for everything I do with Racket. There are bugs, 
of course, though so far all small. And Matthew has been fixing them as fast as 
I can file them. 

For that matter, if you've ever wondered "what can I do to improve 
Racket-on-Chez, without being a 1337 h4x0r?" I suggest that you also use the 
snapshots and file bugs. Because that will make Racket-on-Chez better, sooner, 
for everyone.

One tip, if you haven't used the snapshots before (I hadn't): I've switched to 
installing my own packages in "--scope user" rather than "--scope 
installation". This keeps the packages out of the snapshot folder, so the 
snapshot can be easily replaced without disturbing the rest. 

To infinity and beyond.
