Well, the trouble with the word "soon" is that it is completely devoid of any
objective meaning, and is also utterly dependant on context.  Not only that,
if the object of interest doesn't appear "soon", even from the producers
point of view, there is no way to "prove" them wrong.  All they have to do
is keep their mouths shut.

>Wait until they change it from "soon" to "real soon now"

Same argument.  BTW, is Workbench 2.0 supposed to be out for the Amiga < 3000
soon, or real soon now?  ;-)
