Ain't it the truth!  No, I wasn't asking with the anxiety to hurry
things up - I was asking more about an estimated release time, whether
it will be a month, 2 months, 3 months, etc.

I'm not really looking to "experiment" with the cutting-edge releases
right now.  My aim is to build a fast, stable system for my
computations, which ultimately brought me to another major decision:
32-bit or 64-bit...  I run simulations which I write in C and
numerical computations which I run in Mathematica (which has just
released the 64-bit version).  Would a 64-bit system significantly
benefit these applications?
