I think IDL has done an excellent job of turning what was a PR
nightmare 2 months ago into very nice FAQ and newsgroup update. It
sounds like this will be quite a neat product. Can the beta testers
release screen-shots, or is that illegal?

As for everyone who said 2 months ago that they and anyone they could
possibly influence would never use IDL again, I hope that a) they will
try this release, and b) if they like it they will let RSI and
everyone they can influence about it know they like it.

I am in the market for a new laptop. I have used *only* Linux/UNIX for
5 years now. I was very interested in Apple using BSD UNIX as their
OS, but was not going to purchase a PowerBook simply because it did
not run IDL. RSIs latest press-release means that I am going purchase
an Apple instead of a PC.

-k.
