Jack?
OK... key here is that (a) the beta for the Orion II is completed, but (b)
it won't be released until the Orion update is completed, and (c) the beta
on that STARTED on January 19.
So... where did this expectation of a release last week come from?

Hi Jack.....
Thanks for the comments. As you know, they stated on their web site that an
update was scheduled for Aug/Sep of 2008. Then in November, it was updated
to "this Fall" (08),and said beta testing had started. In January 2009 they
stated the beta for the Orion II was tested and completed but would not be
released until the Orion update was completed and beta on it started on Jan
19 2009.
I did write a very courteous letter to the President (Jack). I included my
email address and phone number. This was sent months ago.......no reply
whatsoever.
