You know, this is an interesting point.

A company like Adobe, which has hundreds of engineers working on  
Photoshop, releases ONE version every two or three years, and maybe a  
single bug fix release in the interim. For the most part, we're all  
cool with that, myself included! :)

But a shareware company that has, say, one or two people working on a  
product, is somehow expected to do releases every few months -- even  
free major ones -- or people start getting itchy.

I experience this too -- it's pretty interesting. :)

Anyway, we're all working as hard as we can, and the stuff we're  
adding is not easy, or quick, to do. For the record, at the risk of  
breaking some hearts, we do not have a release scheduled for the Apple  
Design Awards. Naturally, we'll let you guys know the second we have  
something to talk about. :)

Best,
Cabel
